Educational Brochure about GIST

GIST Support International has developed a brochure that includes facts about GIST diagnosis, treatment of GIST, questions to ask your doctor, and our contact information. 

GSI is grateful to the five GIST experts who reviewed the contents:  Dr. Charles Blanke, Dr. Christopher Corless, Dr. Anette Duensing, Dr. Jonathan Trent, Dr. Christopher Windham, and Dr. Margaret von Mehren.  The graphic design and illustrations are by the talented Peter Greenwood, a member of our GSI community.

You can view the brochure and print it using the free Adobe reader software.  To view or print the brochure CLICK HERE.
