   <dc:description>Gastrointestinal stromal tumors are sarcomas of the digestive tract characterized by mutations mainly&#xd;
located in the c-KIT or in the platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR)-alpha genes. Mutations in the BRAF&#xd;
gene have also been described. Our purpose is to define the distribution of c-KIT, PDGFR and BRAF mutations in a&#xd;
population-based cohort of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) patients and correlate them with anatomical site,&#xd;
risk classification and survival. In addition, as most of the GIST patients have a long survival, second cancers are&#xd;
frequently diagnosed in them. We performed a second primary cancer risk assessment.&#xd;
Methods: Our analysis was based on data from Tarragona and Girona Cancer Registries. We identified all GIST&#xd;
diagnosed from 1996 to 2006 and performed a mutational analysis of those in which paraffin-embedded tissue was&#xd;
obtained. Observed (OS) and relative survival (RS) were calculated according to risk classifications and mutational&#xd;
status. Multivariate analysis of variables for observed survival and was also done.&#xd;
Results: A total of 132 GIST cases were found and we analyzed mutations in 108 cases. We obtained 53.7% of&#xd;
mutations in exon 11 and 7.4% in exon 9 of c-KIT gene; 12% in exon 18 and 1.9% in exon 12 of PDGFR gene and&#xd;
25% of cases were wild type GIST. Patients with mutations in exon 11 of the c-KIT gene had a 5-year OS and RS of&#xd;
59.6% and 66.3%, respectively. Patients with mutations in exon 18 of the PDGFR gene had a 5-year OS and RS of&#xd;
84.6% and 89.7%. In multivariate analysis, only age and risk group achieved statistical significance for observed&#xd;
survival. GIST patients had an increased risk of second cancer with a hazard ratio of 2.47.&#xd;
Conclusions: This population-based study shows a spectrum of mutations in the c-KIT and PDGFR genes in GIST&#xd;
patients similar to that previously published. The OS and RS of GIST with the exon 18 PDGFR gene mutation could&#xd;
indicate that this subgroup of patients may be less aggressive and have a good prognosis, although less sensitive&#xd;
to treatment at recurrence. In our study, GIST patients have an increased risk of developing a second neoplasm</dc:description>
