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

Loss of Skeletal Muscle Mass During Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy Predicts Postoperative Mortality in Esophageal Cancer Surgery

TL;DR: Measurement of muscle mass loss during neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy may provide a readily available and inexpensive assessment to identify patients at risk for developing unfavorable postoperative outcome after resection of esophageal malignancies, especially in patients with stage III–IV tumors.
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

Sarcopenia is associated with an increased inflammatory response to surgery in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: Low muscle mass in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer was associated with an increased postoperative inflammatory response, which may be at least part of the explanation for the high incidence of postoperative complications in sarcopenic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Accurate Prediction of Anastomotic Leakage after Colorectal Surgery Using Plasma Markers for Intestinal Damage and Inflammation

TL;DR: Preoperative intestinal fatty acid binding protein measurement can be used for anastomotic leakage risk assessment and the combination of C-reactive protein and calprotectin has high diagnostic accuracy.
