The gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are a rare gastrointestinal tract malignancy. The two primary mutation sites are found in KIT and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-α (PDGFR-α) genes. The current study reports on a point mutation within the exon 11 of KIT, named KIT p.V560E. Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are potential 3D in vitro models of tissues that can be used to identify sensitivity toward specific targets in patients with tumors and allow for personalized medicine when drugs specific for newly identified genetic locus mutations are not yet available. This study describes a 68-year-old patient who complained of diffused abdominal pain and intermittent melena lasting more than 10 days. He has no other gastrointestinal abnormalities, prior abdominal surgery, or related family history. Surgery was conducted first to remove the lesions and ascertain the disease through histology and immunohistochemical stains of the mass. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumor was positive for CD117 and Dog-1. Based on the above findings, he was diagnosed with GISTs. Gene detection analysis and organoid culture were then performed to verify clinical decisions. KIT p.V560E and the reduced number of RB1 copies were identified as two obvious mutations, so the patient was administrated first-line treatment of imatinib 400 mg/d. However, progressive disease prompted us to switch to sunitinib, and his condition gradually improved. Meanwhile, organoid culture showed sensitivity to sunitinib and tolerance to imatinib with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 0.89 and >20, respectively. In summary, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the established organoid culture indicated that the GISTs organoid could identify the sensitivity to target therapies and facilitate individual-based treatment.
