Nomogram-based strategy to predict relapse-free survival in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor using...

Zhao et al's investigation on the assessment of inflammatory markers prognostic value for relapse-free survival in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) using a nomogram-based approach is a scientific approach. This study explored the potential of an inflammatory marker-based nomograph model, highlighting the relapse-free survival-associated risk factors prognostic potential in patients with GIST. The author assessed 124 samples from patients with GIST to find an association between inflammatory markers and tumor size in a retrospective study using multivariate regression analysis. Further, a nomogram model was developed to identify the independent risk factors for the prognosis. GIST clinical treatment can use preoperative monocyte/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio for relapse-free survival prognosis as independent factors.
