Objectives: This study aimed to investigate whether the computed tomography (CT) finding of irregular extensive ulceration (IEU) can serve as a predictor of liver metastasis (LIM) in patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs).
Methods: This study retrospectively collected clinical and imaging data from 286 patients diagnosed with low-, intermediate-, or high-risk gastric GISTs, or primary lesions with LIM from three medical institutions. The patients were categorised into non-LIM and LIM groups according to whether they had synchronous or metachronous LIM.

Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how changes in the skeletal muscle index (SMI) before and after surgery affect patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).
- Researchers analyzed data from over 2,200 patients who had surgery between 2012 and 2019, checking their body muscle levels using CT scans.
- The results showed that people with lower muscle levels after surgery had worse survival rates compared to those who maintained high muscle levels, especially at 6, 9, and 12 months later.
Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy has variable efficacy in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), yet reliable noninvasive predictive markers are lacking. This study aimed to develop a radiomics model predicting pathological complete response and postneoadjuvant chemotherapy survival in NSCLC.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective data collection involved 130 patients with NSCLC who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy and surgery.
Background: Liver metastasis (LIM) is an important factor in the diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and prognosis of patients with gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). There is no simple tool to assess the risk of LIM in patients with gastric GIST. Our aim was to develop and validate a nomogram to identify patients with gastric GIST at high risk of LIM.

Methods: We collected 588 stages I-III NSCLC patients with recurrence after radical resection in Yunnan Cancer Hospital from January 2013 to December 2018. We used Kaplan-Meier survival curves to compare PRS in patients with different site recurrences.
