This is the first advisory meeting that brought together GIST patients, their families, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. The meeting provided an opportunity for a frank exchange of views on the current status of GIST treatment, feelings on the patient side, and issues that healthcare professionals consider. 

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to all those involved.
