Core Tip	Ghrelin has been proven to promote the occurrence and development of gastrointestinal tumors. Some gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) express ghrelin and its receptors. However, no previous reports have specified whether ghrelin is involved in the occurrence and development of GISTs. Through a review of the literature, this paper is the first to summarize and discuss the correlation between ghrelin and GISTs.
