Please note that a clarification is needed in the article entitled, “Inherited Predisposition to Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor,” by Drs Rinki Agarwal and Mark Robson, which published in the February 2009 issue of Hematology/Oncology Clinics of North America (23:1). The authors stated mistakenly that the term Carney-Stratakis syndrome was coined by Drs Carney and Stratakis to describe patients with an apparent autosomal dominant predisposition to paraganglioma and gastric stromal sarcoma. The authors would like to clarify that the eponym was first proposed by Drs Daum, Vanecek, Sima, and Michel in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor: Update. Klinicka Onkologie 2006;19:203–211.
