Table 2 Estimation of the recurrence risk or death linked to the disease in localized and resecable GISTs depending on tumor size and the mitotic index (Fletcher et al. 2002)
From: Abdominal wall recurrence of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor: case report
Risk | Maximum diameter | Mitotic indexa |
|---|---|---|
Very low risk | <2 cm | <5 |
Low risk | 2–5 cm | <5 |
Intermediate risk | <5 cm 5–10 cm | 6–10 <5 |
High risk | >5 cm >10 cm “Whatever” | >5 “Whatever” >10 |
