Prognostic indicators for gastrointestinal stromal tumours: a clinicopathological and immunohistochemical study of 108 resected cases of the stomach

Abstract

Mitotic count remains the best predictor of outcome following surgical resection of gastric GISTs. Ki67 immunohistochemistry does not provide better prognostication and p53, Bcl-2 and cyclin D1 immunohistochemistry provide no additional prognostication.
