In 2017 GIST Cancer UK approved a research grant application for pathologist Dr Newton Wong to undertake next generation sequencing (NGS) of wild-type GIST's to identify therapeutic targets.
Earlier this month (July 2020) - Dr Wong’s research paper “Next generation sequencing demonstrates the rarity of short kinase variants specific to quadruple wild type gastrointestinal stromal tumours”. was published in the Journal of Clinical Pathology.
