CT-derived extracellular volume fraction as a predictive marker for postoperative recurrence in pStage II–III gastric cancer

Question Identifying prognostic markers is crucial for improving outcomes in stage II-III GC with high recurrence rates post-treatment. Findings High preoperative CT-ECV values are independently associated with increased recurrence risk and reduced DFS in pStage II-III GC. Clinical relevance CT-ECV can facilitate personalised treatment strategies and potentially improve patient management and outcomes.
