Body composition measurement using diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scans has
emerged as a method to assess sarcopenia (low muscle mass) in oncology patients …

Background Preoperative sarcopenia is associated with a poor long‐term prognosis in
patients with gastric cancer (GC). Most GC patients rapidly lose muscle mass after …

Background Computed tomography (CT) has become an important technique for assessing
skeletal muscle mass. Low skeletal muscle mass (LSMM) is considered an unfavorable …

Objective The levels of platelet-related inflammation indicators and sarcopenia have been
reported to affect the survival of patients with cancer. To evaluate the prognostic influence of …

Background Skeletal muscle indices have been associated with improved peri-operative
outcomes after surgical resection of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, it is …

Background Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a valuable indicator for evaluating
inflammation and adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery. The objective of this study was to …

Background Preoperative nutritional status is an important host-related prognostic factor for
non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC); however, the significance of postoperative changes …

Nutritional status is associated with prognosis in a variety of cancers. Studies analyzing the
association between the measurements of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue obtained from …

Background Excessive skeletal muscle loss during neoadjuvant concurrent
chemoradiotherapy (NACRT) is significantly related to survival outcomes of oesophageal …

Purpose The number of elderly patients who undergo surgery is increasing, even though
they are at a high risk due to a decreased physical strength. Furthermore, sarcopenia is …
