Core Tip Personalization of the management and treatment of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) requires an extensive characterization of individual tumors. Information on the tumor proliferation rate and the KIT- and platelet-derived growth factor alpha (PDGFRA)-mutation profile is essential. While endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-FNA is reported to be suboptimal for the diagnosis of GIST, EUS-guided biopsy sampling (EUS-FNB) has not been evaluated for the characterization of GISTs. This prospective, long-term study showed that EUS-FNB was safe and highly accurate for the pretreatment diagnosis of GISTs, for the sequencing of KIT and PDGFRA, and for the assessment of the tumor proliferation rate (Ki-67-index). By obtaining this information, we managed to guide and evaluate neoadjuvant imatinib therapy in patients with GIST.
