Purpose Previous studies have shown an association of sarcopenia with adverse short-and
long-term outcomes in multiple gastrointestinal cancer types. We aimed to investigate the …

Abnormalities in body composition can occur at any body weight. Low muscle mass is a
predictor of poor morbidity and mortality and occurs in several populations. This narrative …

Background: Body composition may partially explain the U-shaped association between
body mass index (BMI) and colorectal cancer survival. Methods: Muscle and adiposity at …

Importance Given the risks of postoperative morbidity and its consequent economic burden
and impairment to patients undergoing colon resection, evaluating risk factors associated …

Purpose The significance of sarcopenia after colorectal cancer (CRC) resection has only
been discussed with relatively small samples or short follow-up periods. This study aimed to …

BACKGROUND: Computed tomography-derived body composition parameters are
emerging prognostic factors in colorectal cancer. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to …

Background Sarcopenia, visceral obesity (VO), and reduced muscle radiodensity
(myosteatosis) are suggested risk factors for postoperative morbidity in colorectal cancer …

The recent publication of new surgical nutrition guidelines, the PONS score, and use of LBM
assessments will allow better identification and earlier intervention on perioperative …

BACKGROUND Low skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD) is related to higher mortality in
several cancers, but the association with colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis is unclear …

Although higher body mass index (BMI) increases the incidence of many cancers, BMI can
also exhibit a null or U-shaped relationship with survival among patients with existing …
