Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract, arising from the interstitial cells of Cajal or their precursors.
How common: About 6,000 new cases per year in the U.S. (American Cancer Society); true incidence may be higher as small GISTs are often incidentally discovered
Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive cancer that develops in the mesothelium, the thin layer of tissue covering most internal organs.
How common: About 3,000 new cases per year in the U.S
Myelodysplastic syndromes are a group of blood cancers in which the bone marrow fails to produce enough healthy blood cells.
How common: 10,000 to 15,000 new cases annually in the U.S.; estimated 60,000 to 170,000 Americans living with MDS
Waldenström Macroglobulinemia is a rare blood cancer in which malignant B-lymphocytes produce excessive amounts of a protein called macroglobulin (immunoglobulin M or IgM).
How common: Approximately 1,500 new cases per year in the United States; median age of diagnosis is 68 years
