Educational material & Publications to help with the management of GIST patients
If you work in health care with GIST patients then we can help ...
We know that GISTs are rare so, unless you work at a specialist centre, the chances of coming across a GIST patient is limited.
We can help in a number of ways:
- Our publications are available to support you and your patients.
- We are working with Sarcoma UK to raise awareness amongst medical practitioners and to improve the training available.
- You can contact us and we will put you in contact with others in a similar position - email admin@gistcancer.org.uk
- Watch the video below which was designed to inform GPs about GISTs - their presentation and treatment.
Educational Video - For GP's and Primary Care Clinicians
GP and Cancer lead for Gloucestershire, Dr Sadaf Haque discusses the "Possible presentation in Primary care of GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour)" with leading UK GIST specialists Professor Robin Jones, Dr Charlotte Benson & Mr Satvinder Mudan.
The conversation is further enhanced with expert clinical input from Professor Ian Judson and is followed by three GIST patient stories illustrating their pathway to a GIST diagnosis.
