Core Tip	Bayesian networks (BN) provide a powerful framework for managing the complexity and uncertainty in gastrointestinal cancer research and clinical practice. By integrating diverse data types and modeling causal relationships, BN facilitate personalized treatment strategies. However, challenges such as data availability, computational demands, and clinical adoption must be addressed to fully unlock their potential for improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
