Abstract


Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are rare malignant neoplasms that develop mainly in the gastrointestinal tract. They typically cause non-specific dyspeptic symptoms in the abdominal cavity or gastrointestinal bleeding. Treatment may vary depending on the location, mitotic activity and clinical manifestations of the tumour. This study analyses the cases of patients with GISTs treated at the Department of General, Minimally Invasive and Gastroenterological Surgery of the Independent Public Teaching Hospital in Szczecin, Poland, from 2017 to 2022.
