Summary & Conclusions The Z9001 trial represents the largest cohort of adjuvant GIST patients followed to date Risk of recurrence in untreated patients is related to: –Mitotic index (HR 17.1) –KIT exon 11 mutation (vs WT; HR 3.0) –Small bowel primary (vs gastric; HR 2.1) –Tumor size (HR 1.7) 12 months of adjuvant imatinib significantly delays recurrence of: –KIT exon 11-mutant tumors –PDGFRA-mutant tumors (primarily non-D842V) –but not wild-type tumors More data are needed to define the impact of adjuvant imatinib on recurrence of exon 9-mutant tumors Miettinen criteria for risk stratification remain valid using a newer microscope with a larger field of view
