Abstract

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) have malignant potential, and treatment varies according to risk. However, no specific protocols exist for preoperative assessment of the malignant potential of gastric GISTs (gGISTs). This study aimed to use machine learning (ML) to develop and validate clinically relevant preoperative models to predict the malignant potential of gGISTs.
