Does gleevec (imatinib) help patients with stage 4 gist tumour in the abdominal lining and in a lymph node?

Maybe: Gist is variable responsive to chemotherapy, but it seems like its worth a try, particularly if the drug is well tolerated. I have seen dramatic positive results from this medication for gist. See an oncologist with experience and expertise terrain gist for a consultation. Hope this helps!

Yes, great drug for : Gleevec (imatinib) is the best drug for treating gist. So if your diagnosis is confirmed to be gist, this is the drug of first choice.
