Official Title: A Phase 2 Study of Imatinib Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor

Brief Summary: Imatinib can lead to long recurrence free survival in patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST); however side effects can significantly hinder quality of life for our patients.
