What is GIST? | Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor | Dr. Anil Kamath | Surgical Oncologist in India

A cancer form called a gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) starts in the digestive system. The stomach and small intestine are where GISTs most frequently develop. A GIST is a cell growth that is hypothesised to develop from a certain kind of nerve cell. Dr. Anil Kamath M.S. (General Surgery) (Master of Surgery) MCh. (Surgical Oncology), DNB (Surgical Oncology) Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist I firmly believe in tailoring the treatment of my patients as per their needs without compromising on the outcomes. The needs of a young lady with breast cancer and no financial constraints is likely to be very different from the needs of an elderly lady coming from a remote village. To understand the needs of the patients we have to have a frank and open hearted discussion with them. I believe that advanced technology like robotic surgery should be used in appropriate cases because when it is used indiscreetly it can cause more harm than good.
