Ki-67 labeling index may be a promising indicator to identify “very high-risk” gastrointestinal stromal tumor: a multicenter retrospective study of 1022 patients
We sought to determine whether Ki-67 labeling index (LI) was an independent prognostic factor for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). A multicenter cohort of 1022 patients undergoing surgical resection of primary GIST between August 2004 and October 2015 was retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed to evaluate expression of Ki-67 in their paraffin-embedded tissue samples. The optimal cutoff value of Ki-67 LI was determined as 6% by receiver operating characteristics curve analysis.
