Background The evidence that body composition parameters influence multiple cancer
outcomes is rapidly expanding. Excess adiposity deposits in muscle tissue, termed …

Myosteatosis, which is excessive fat infiltration in the skeletal muscle, is now considered a
distinct disease from sarcopenia. Advances in imaging technique have made muscle …

Importance Sarcopenia (low muscle mass), poor muscle quality (low muscle radiodensity),
and excess adiposity derived from computed tomography (CT) has been related to higher …

Body composition, defined as the proportions and distribution of lean and fat tissues in the
human body, is an emergent theme in clinical oncology. Severe muscle depletion …

Abstract Background/Objective: There is increasing use of computed tomography (CT) in
sarcopenia research using a wide variety of techniques. We performed a systematic review …

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 …

It has frequently been shown that patients with cancer are one of the largest hospital patient
groups with a prevalence for malnutrition. Weight loss is a frequent manifestation of …

A decline in skeletal muscle mass and low muscular strength are prognostic factors in
advanced human cancers. Here we found that breast cancer suppressed O-linked N …

Previous evidence on postdiagnosis body fatness and mortality after breast cancer was
graded as limited‐suggestive. To evaluate the evidence on body mass index (BMI), waist …

Clinicians often believe that cachexia is caused by cancer and anorexia as a toxicity of
chemotherapy or targeted anti-cancer agents. It is now recognized that chemotherapy and …
