Insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 has dual effects on gastrointestinal stromal tumor cell viability and sensitivity to the anti-tumor effects of imatinib mesylate in vitro

BACKGROUND: Imatinib mesylate has significantly improved survival and quality of life of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs).
