Using new machine-learning classifiers called optimal classification trees, our artificial intelligence (AI)-based calculator is designed to predict the probability of gastrointestinal stromal tumor recurrence five years following the complete resection (surgical removal of all cancerous tissue) of the gastrointestinal stromal tumor. It is designed for patients who have not received tyrosine kinase inhibitors before or after surgery.
Results produced by this tool are based on data from patients treated at MSK, a large research institution with surgeons who perform a high volume of gastrointestinal stromal tumor procedures, and at 80 sites comprising the Spanish Group for Research in Sarcomas. The AI tool predictions were validated using external data from 7 sites comprising the Polish Clinical GIST Registry. All results must be understood in the context of each patient’s specific treatment plan. Patients and caregivers using this tool should discuss the result with the patient’s physician.
