Background/Aims: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are mesenchymal tumors originating from the gastrointestinal canal wall. Although a number of studies are performed concerning prognostic factors, no indicators of recurrence or metastasis could be established. In this study we assessed the prognostic value of MIB-1 proliferative index (PI) in GIST, and whether there was a relationship to any other clinicopathological findings.
