Phase II study of chemoradiotherapy for advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the thoracic esophagus: nine Japanese institutions trial.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although a series of histopathological criteria have been suggested, the prediction of the malignant potential of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) is still difficult. The older literature called all gastrointestinal stromal tumors smooth muscle tumors or mixed GIST with true smooth muscle tumors. Repor...
