Recurrence and metastasis are the most important factors affecting the quality of life and survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Accurate preoperative determination of the malignant degree of GISTs and the development of a reasonable treatment plan can effectively reduce the recurrence rate. CT is currently considered the preferred imaging modality for initial assessment. Until now, there have only been a few studies investigating the relationship between CT features and recurrence of GISTs. However, the value of CT features in prognostic assessment is still unclear. In this study, we attempted to investigate the prognostic significance of CT features and the Ki67 index in GISTs.
