Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Awareness DayEvery year on July 13th, Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) Awareness Day is observed to raise awareness about this rare form of cancer that affects the digestive system. GIST is a type of sarcoma that develops in the gastrointestinal tract, primarily in the stomach or small intestine. While GIST may be a lesser-known cancer, it is crucial to shed light on its symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. By increasing awareness and understanding, we can support those affected by GIST and contribute to ongoing research and advancements in treatment. |
