%X This review discusses the current and future landscape of advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) treatment. It covers the role of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), specifically imatinib, and further treatment options, such as sunitinib, regorafenib, and ripretinib, as well as avapritinib for platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha D842V mutations. In addition, this review emphasizes individualized treatment strategies within multidisciplinary expert teams, including surgery and other locoregional therapies, together with the importance of mutation-guided approaches, particularly for wild-type GISTs. Finally, it explores the potential of next-generation KIT inhibitors, combination therapies, and other investigational approaches.
