Introduction}]{I. Introduction}\par reatment responses for the assesment of tumors performed with CT scans were initially assesed only according to RECIST criteria; however, it was not useful for the evaluation of gastrointestinal stroma tumors because the size of the tumor was not the only characteristic.\par The biggest correlation in response is based on a reduction in density measured in Housfield units. This measurement is correlated with the tumoral necrosis and cistic or myxoid deterioration. \hyperref[b0]{1} Initially, Choi et. al proposed a response criteria, in which size and density were the elements for assessing the responses to treatment. In some cases, the size of the tumor can increase due to a side effect of the development of an intratumoral hemorrhage or myxoid deterioration. \hyperref[b1]{2,}\hyperref[b2]{3} II. Targeted Therapies Selective inhibitor tyrosine kinase agents are employed for the treatment of GIST (molecular targeted therapy) that specifically acts in biomolecular changes that onset the disease and that exclusively targets the tumural cells. The use of this treatment has allowed a 5 year increase in up to 43\% of the patients with this metastatic disease. \hyperref[b3]{4,}\hyperref[b4]{5} The protocol for GIST treatment at IMSS (Mexican Social Security Institute) UMAE CMN Siglo XXI is based on the histological grading of malignancy according to its mitotic index. The first-line medication treatment used post-surgery is Imatinib Mesylate, which acts through specific inhibition of the ennzyme tyrosine kinase. A 400mg to 800mg dose is administered; depending in the histological grade, there is a one year follow-up for mild cases and up to three years for severe cases. If there are any indications of progression of the disease observed through imaging methods, or clinically observed side effects due to the medication, secondline Sunitinib is then administered. \section[{III. Assesment through Imaging}]{III. Assesment through Imaging}\par Computed tomography (CT), is the imaging method of choice for the diagnosis, staging, monitoring and assessment to treatment response of the GIST; 5 cm tumors are identified as large tumors, well-defined, heterogeneous, and exophytic component or with a polypoid intraluminal. . The central portion may contain tumor areas of lower attenuation secondary to necrosis, hemorrhage and cystic degeneration; the presence of calcifications is unusual. \hyperref[b5]{6,}\hyperref[b6]{7,}\hyperref[b7]{8} Malignant GISTs are large and well defined (86 \%), with heterogeneous soft tissue of low density and necrotic center. They frequently come from the wall of the stomach or small intestine. The attenuation by liquid or central necrosis occurs in approximately 67\% of the cases. \hyperref[b8]{9,}\hyperref[b9]{10} The period for follow-up in patients who have GIST may be modified by variables such as if received surgical treatment (neoadjuvant or adjuvant), \hyperref[b10]{11} presences of metastatic disease (liver, peritoneum and other sites) and changes in treatment (for adverse effects to the medication or the progression of the disease). High-risk patients are evaluated from 1 to 2 years at the end of the adjuvant therapy and low-risk patients can have greater intervals of evaluation. \hyperref[b11]{12} The group of sarcomas in Europe suggested to routinely assess every 3-6 months during adjuvant therapy in the first year and on an annual basis in the following 5 years. Patients with GIST of low risk can be evaluated every 6-12 months by for a period of five years. \hyperref[b12]{13} \section[{Table 1 : Comparative table between RECIST and CHOI criteria}]{Table 1 : Comparative table between RECIST and CHOI criteria}\par There are no studies reported in the literature on the experience of the Oncology Hospital Siglo XXI that include criteria CHOI as a basis for monitoring response to molecular targeted therapy. Some authors include in their studies specific criteria such as tumor size, histological grade and track interval once white therapy has begun.\par It is therefore important for the Medical Oncologist to know the significance of the tomographic reportfor follow-up of patients with gastrointestinal tumors. The objective of this study was to describe with CTs the response to the treatment of GIST in patients from the Oncology Hospital of twenty-first century, using the criteria of CHOI. \section[{IV. Materials and Methods}]{IV. Materials and Methods}\par A retrospective study from January 2009 to January 2014. The patients included in the study had to have a confirmed diagnosis of GIST by histopathology; a CT scan performed in the oncology service at the IMSS, with realization of three-phase protocol (arterial, venous and portal); treatment of white therapy (Imatinib or Sunitinib) and a baseline and follow-up CT. Simple frequency and dispersion measurements were taken through the program SPSS. \section[{V. Results}]{V. Results}\par From 2009 to 2014 31 cases were obtained with the inclusion criteria mentioned, of whom 54.8 \% were women and 45.2 \% were men with a median age of 57 years (range 36 to 84 years); all with a study of abdominal computed tomography. The organs affected by GIST were 51.6 \% (16) stomach, 22.6 \% (7) jejunum, 12.9 \% (4) rectum, 6.5 \% (2) duodenum, 3.2 \% (1) peritoneum and 3.2 \% (1) retroperitoneum (Table \hyperref[tab_0]{2}). 32.3 \% (10) of the patients were surgically treated before starting with Imatinib. 67.7 \% received first-line molecular targeted therapy with Imatinib, and 32.3 \% received second line with Sunitinib. We assessed the response to treatment with a CT scan in an average of 1 to 24 months. According to the criteria of CHOI, we observed 45.2 \% (14) complete response, 19.4 (5) stable disease, 19.4 (6) partial response and 16.1 \% (5) disease progression (Table \hyperref[tab_1]{3}) Figures \hyperref[fig_2]{1,2, 3}. During that time, metastatic activity was observed in 14 patients representing a 45.1 \%, with predominant involvement in the liver with a percentage of 35.5 \% of the total (Table \hyperref[tab_2]{4}) Figure \hyperref[fig_3]{4}. \section[{VI. Discussion}]{VI. Discussion}\par Neither the time of survival nor the histologic grade of malignancy was considered in our review as Toyokawa et al recommends. \hyperref[b11]{12} A prospective study would consider the survival. In recent publications the partial answer is the predominant result when evaluating with criteria of CHOI, which does not differ with the gains of the study. {\ref 12,13.} The length of time of follow-up was from 6 months. In patients undergoing surgery, the period of follow-up was one year. It was noted that the progression of the disease was determined by the stage at the time of diagnosis and the location that made the unresectable tumor. The molecular targeted therapy in patients with liver hypovascular metastases areas remained as stable disease or partial response to treatment, with a similar percentage to what is reported in the literature. The follow-up every 4-6 months the first two years and annual the following years were a period of time made on average.\par The organy most frequently affected (stomach) and the most frequent metastatic disease (liver) is similar to that reported in the literature. \section[{VII. Conclusions}]{VII. Conclusions}\par It is necessary as radiologists to become familiar with the existence of white therapies and criteria for evaluation of response, to achieve the appropriate integration in the multidisciplinary management. CT scans allows us to evaluate the response to white therapy in patients with GIST using the criteria of CHOI. It also allows us to identify the primary tumor, stage of the disease and detect metastatic diseases. The criteria of CHOI reported by CT help the clinician with the patient management, decision for surgical treatment, grant white therapy, to change white therapy line and prognosis. GIST requires a tomographic assessment using criteria of CHOI, with a period of time as a minimum of 6 months.\begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{1}\includegraphics[]{image-2.png} \caption{\label{fig_0}Figure 1 :}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{2}\includegraphics[]{image-3.png} \caption{\label{fig_1}Figure 2 :}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{3}\includegraphics[]{image-4.png} \caption{\label{fig_2}Figure 3 :}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{4}\includegraphics[]{image-5.png} \caption{\label{fig_3}Figure 4 :}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{2} \par \begin{longtable}{P{0.10220238095238095\textwidth}P{0.4968452380952381\textwidth}P{0.031369047619047616\textwidth}P{0.21958333333333335\textwidth}} Criteria\tabcellsep \tabcellsep CHOI\tabcellsep RESIST 1.1\\ Complete\tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Disappearance of all target lesions}\tabcellsep Disappearance of all target lesions\\ Response\tabcellsep No new lesions\tabcellsep \tabcellsep No new lesions\\ \tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Decrease ?10\% in the sumof the LD or shrinkage ?15\% in}\\ \tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Hounsfield Units (tumoral density).}\tabcellsep Decrease ? 30\% in the sum of the\\ Partial Response\tabcellsep No evidence of new lesions\tabcellsep \tabcellsep LD of target lesions\\ \tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient}\\ Stable Disease\tabcellsep Increase to qualify for PD\tabcellsep \tabcellsep Neither PRnor PD\\ \tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Increase in size ?10\% with no criteria in Partial Response of the}\\ \tabcellsep tumor density\tabcellsep \\ Progressive\tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{Appearance of new lesions, intramural nodules, increase in}\tabcellsep Increase ? 20\% in the sum of the\\ Disease\tabcellsep \multicolumn{2}{l}{existing nodules or tiissue increase in a hypodense lesion}\tabcellsep LD of target lesions\\ \multicolumn{2}{l}{Affected Organ}\tabcellsep Number of Patients\tabcellsep Percentage\\ \tabcellsep Stomach\tabcellsep 16\tabcellsep 51.6\\ \tabcellsep Jejunum\tabcellsep 7\tabcellsep 22.6\\ \tabcellsep Rectum\tabcellsep 4\tabcellsep 12.9\\ \tabcellsep Duodenum\tabcellsep 2\tabcellsep 6.5\\ \tabcellsep Peritoneum\tabcellsep 1\tabcellsep 3.2\\ \multicolumn{2}{l}{Retroperitoneum}\tabcellsep 1\tabcellsep 3.2\\ \tabcellsep Total\tabcellsep 31\tabcellsep 100\%\end{longtable} \par \caption{\label{tab_0}Table 2 :}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{3} \par \begin{longtable}{P{0.3929245283018868\textwidth}P{0.20047169811320756\textwidth}P{0.25660377358490566\textwidth}} Responses according to CHOI criteria\tabcellsep Number of Patients\tabcellsep Percentage\\ SD\tabcellsep 6\tabcellsep 19.4\\ PD\tabcellsep 5\tabcellsep 16.1\\ PR\tabcellsep 6\tabcellsep 19.4\\ CR\tabcellsep 14\tabcellsep 45.2\\ Total\tabcellsep 31\tabcellsep 100 \%\end{longtable} \par \caption{\label{tab_1}Table 3 :}\end{figure} \begin{figure}[htbp] \noindent\textbf{4} \par \begin{longtable}{P{0.5065656565656566\textwidth}P{0.11161616161616163\textwidth}P{0.23181818181818178\textwidth}} Site of metastases\tabcellsep Number\tabcellsep Percentage\\ Peritoneum\tabcellsep 1\tabcellsep 3.2\\ Liver\tabcellsep 11\tabcellsep 35.5\\ Retroperitoneum\tabcellsep 1\tabcellsep 3.2\\ Uterus\tabcellsep 1\tabcellsep 3.2\\ Total\tabcellsep 14\tabcellsep 45.1\end{longtable} \par \caption{\label{tab_2}Table 4 :}\end{figure} \backmatter \begin{bibitemlist}{1} \bibitem[Toyokawa et al.
