 ==Other Diagnostic Studies==
-Endoscopic guided biopsy may be done for definite diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumor. However, percutaneous biopsy is not routinely recommended.
+There are no other [[Diagnosis|diagnostic]] studies associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST).
-*Patients with unresectable GIST must undergo biopsy to determine tumor cell type and chemotherapy.
-*GISTs are highly vascular which puts them at a risk of bleeding.
-**Percutaneous fine needle biopsy may put the patient at an increased risk of tumor rupture and bleeding.
-**Percutaneous biopsy can also lead to tumor seeding along the biopsy tract such as peritoneum or mesentery.
-**Thus, patients in whom surgery is an option are advised not to undergo biopsy.
