Small intestine tumors linked to improved survival in adolescents and young adults

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are tumors that arise is the wall of the digestive tract, and most often occur in the stomach or small intestine. Though more common in later in life, GISTs can occur in adolescents and young adults under 40 years old as well.
