Functional compromise reflected by sarcopenia, frailty, and nutritional depletion predicts adverse postoperative outcome after colorectal cancer surgery.

TL;DR: Functional compromise in colorectal cancer surgery is associated with adverse postoperative outcome and assessment of functional compromise by means of a nutritional questionnaire, a frailty questionnaire, and sarcopenia measurement can accurately predict postoperative sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A model including sarcopenia surpasses the MELD score in predicting waiting list mortality in cirrhotic liver transplant candidates: A competing risk analysis in a national cohort.

TL;DR: Low skeletal muscle mass was associated with mortality on the waiting list, particularly in patients who were listed with low priority based on a low MELD score, however, adding these measurements to the currently used system for donor and organ allocation showed no added value.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparative study of software programmes for cross-sectional skeletal muscle and adipose tissue measurements on abdominal computed tomography scans of rectal cancer patients.

TL;DR: A comparative study was performed on the association between body composition and treatment outcomes using single‐slice computed tomography (CT)‐based measurements using different software programmes, each with their specific characteristics, of which the inter‐observer, intra‐ob server, and inter‐software correlation are unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sarcopenia is highly prevalent in patients undergoing surgery for gastric cancer but not associated with worse outcomes

TL;DR: Aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia and body composition in gastric cancer surgical patients and its association with adverse postoperative outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: current perspectives.

TL;DR: Both hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy with floxuridine and yttrium-90 embolization aim to downstage locally advanced ICC, and selected patients have resectable disease after downstaging, and other patients might benefit because of postponing widespread dissemination and biliary obstruction.
