The genetic background for cancer treatment may also be different among different areas and races. There is lack of Taiwanese data of genetic alterations in cancer patients. To understand the landscape of genetic aberrations of cancer in Taiwan, large scale survey of the cancer patients is indicated. In this pilot study, the investigators want to evaluate the landscape of genetic aberrations in cancer patients via oncopaenl test and collect the clinical data of the patients. The result of the oncopanel test will be returned to patient and their attending physician for reference of their further treatment. In addition, the investigators want to correlate the clinical outcome with the genetic aberrations of the cancer patients in Taiwan. Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) is a rare cancer compared with the other solid tumors. C-KIT or PDGFRA mutation is found in approximately 85-90% of GISTs. Imatinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor targeting c-KIT, has been used to treat advanced GIST successfully since 2000. However, resistance to imatinib may develop either via secondary mutation of c-KIT or primary resistance to those with wild type c-KIT and PDGFRA. Although sunitinib and regorafenib have been approved as second and third line of treatment for advanced GIST, the progression free survival were only 6.8 and 4.8 months, respectively. The genetic landscape of GIST with wild type c-KIT and PDGFRA was less studied. In the current study, the investigators want to focus on the GISTs with wild type c-KIT and PDGFRA to perform the NGS oncopanel for these patients. Then the investigators can understand the genetic aberrations of these patients (wild type GIST) and help for searching the potential treatment targets to them.
