Core Tip	The GATIS score, developed from a 12-year study of 1408 patients with rectal neuroendocrine neoplasms (R-NENs) across 17 major Chinese centers, predicts overall survival and progression-free survival more accurately than World Health Organization grade and tumor-node-metastasis staging. This score offers improved personalized patient management and treatment planning. However, the study includes limitations such as short follow-up durations and exclusion of molecular and genetic factors. Addressing these in future research could further enhance treatment strategies for R-NENs.
