A CT-based radiomics model for preoperative risk stratification of gastrointestinal stromal tumors

The developed CT-based radiomics model offers a reliable, externally validated tool for GISTs risk stratification, addressing limitations of traditional methods by incorporating tumor heterogeneity and enhancing predictive accuracy. This model has the potential to guide personalized treatment strategies, particularly in distinguishing patients with GISTs requiring adjuvant therapy from those suitable for surgical resection alone. This study was approved by the appropriate ethics committee with a waiver of informed consent.
