The R0 resection rate of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) with high recurrence risk was relatively low, and the relapse-free survival rate was relatively low, which needed to be further improved. A few retrospective analyses and a small sample of prospective studies have found that neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib mesylate can improve R0 resection rates. Whether neoadjuvant therapy prolongs long-term survival remains unclear. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) for GIST patients with high recurrence risk after neoadjuvant treatment with imatinib mesylate.
