PAWS-GIST CLINIC

The PAWS-GIST national alliance was formed in the UK in 2010 as a joint effort between patients, carers and health care professionals, to raise awareness, improve treatments, stimulate research, understand the causes and mechanisms of GIST in children, young people and those with wild-type GIST and ultimately to find a cure for this subgroup of GIST patients... We aim to hold three clinics each year, using each one to bring together up to 8 patients who will meet with GIST specialists from a variety of disciplines... The clinic also serves as a platform for research and clinical trials. We work in collaboration with international experts in developing more effective treatments.
