NCT00171977

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, post-marketing, clinical study evaluating the safety and efficacy of postoperative adjuvant therapy with Imatinib Mesylate in high-risk patients after curative resection of newly diagnosed GIST.Patients will be evaluated for relapse -free survival as measured by the confirmation of tumor recurrence and survival for 3 years after surgery for their primary tumors.
