Single Nuclei-Derived Molecular Subtypes of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Correlate with Clinicopathologic Features and Predict Clinical Outcomes Historically, gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) has been subtyped by oncogenic driver mutations. However, tumors with the same mutational profile can have variable biology. To further explore the ...
