Core Tip	The GATIS score is a new prognostic tool for rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms, enhancing accuracy by combining clinical and pathological factors. Its use in clinical decision-making could transform treatment approaches by tailoring them to patient risk levels, guiding management, and informing surveillance to detect early recurrence. This tool also aids in selecting clinical trial candidates, which could promote research and the development of new therapies.
