CT-based assessment of sarcopenia for differentiating wild-type from mutant-type gastrointestinal stromal tumor.

ABSTRACT: Non-invasive prediction for KIT/PDGFRA status in GIST is a challenging problem. This study aims to evaluate whether CT based sarcopenia could differentiate KIT/PDGFRA wild-type gastrointestinal stromal tumor (wt-GIST) from the mutant-type GIST (mu-GIST), and to evaluate genetic features of GIST. A total of 174 patients with GIST (wt-GIST = 52) were retrospectively identified between January 2011 to October 2019. A sarcopenia nomogram was constructed by multivariate logistic regression. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated by discrimination, calibration curve, and decision curve. Genomic data was obtained from our own specimens and also from the open databases cBioPortal. Data was analyzed by R version 3.6.1 and clusterProfiler ( http://cbioportal.org/msk-impact ). There were signi
