GIST often spreads from the original (primary) site to distant locations. If this happens, these tumors are called metastases. The Life Raft Group presented its first survey of the side effects that member patients have experienced with Gleevec. This was a very early study of a small number of participants and gave us our first data on the side effects experienced by GIST patients in the Gleevec clinical trials.
