Senile Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors with Coronary Heart Disease

With the increase in the elderly population year by year, population aging has become an increasingly serious social problem in China. Often, GISTs are diagnosed in middle-aged and elderly people. The clinical characteristics and treatment for elderly patients with GIST have certain particularity, which needs close attention from clinicians. Due to the common delay of treatment in elderly patients with GIST, the symptoms are often obvious, and the tumor stage is late. In addition, elderly patients are often complicated by various chronic diseases or organ dysfunction, which makes treatment more difficult. For some elderly patients with GIST and significant visceral insufficiency, it is necessary to carry out diagnosis and treatment through multidisciplinary cooperation (i.e., with an MDT).
