lüll Imatinib in the treatment of solid tumours Duffaud F; Le Cesne ATarget Oncol 2009[Jan]; 4 (1): 45-56The extraordinary success of imatinib in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) represents a model for molecularly targeted therapy for other solid tumors. Research is currently going to identify the molecular basis of mechanisms of action and drug resistance. In this article, we review recent advances in the clinical management of patients with GISTs treated with imatinib, but also of patients with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, chordoma, aggressive fibromatosis, and some other common solid tumors treated with this drug. We reviewed the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that are basic to imatinib effects in these tumors.|Adjuvants, Immunologic/administration & dosage[MESH]|Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Benzamides[MESH]|Chordoma/*drug therapy/pathology[MESH]|Clinical Trials as Topic[MESH]|Dermatofibrosarcoma/*drug therapy/genetics/pathology[MESH]|Desmoid Tumors/drug therapy/pathology[MESH]|Fusion Proteins, bcr-abl/antagonists & inhibitors/genetics[MESH]|Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors/*drug therapy/genetics/pathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Imatinib Mesylate[MESH]|Mutation[MESH]|Piperazines/administration & dosage/pharmacology[MESH]|Protein-Tyrosine Kinases/antagonists & inhibitors[MESH]|Proto-Oncogene Proteins c-kit/genetics/metabolism[MESH]|Pyrimidines/administration & dosage/pharmacology[MESH]|Receptor, Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor/antagonists & inhibitors[MESH]|Receptors, Platelet-Derived Growth Factor/antagonists & inhibitors/genetics[MESH]|Skin Neoplasms/*drug therapy/pathology[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
