Core Tip	Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal tumors with a wide spectrum of clinical behavior. This is the first study showing the prognostic significance of carbonic anhydrase Ⅱ (CA Ⅱ) and Ki-67. The 1-, 3- and 5-year survival rates were 90.0%, 82.0% and 72.0%. However, in patients with positive CA Ⅱ or Ki-67, the survival rates were 92.0%, 83.0% and 77.0% or 83.0%, 66.6% and 53.0%, respectively. Our study indicates that CA Ⅱ has strong expression in GISTs and prognosis with high CA Ⅱ expression is better than that with low or no expression, suggesting that CA Ⅱ is both a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for GIST.
