Independent effect of fat-to-muscle mass ratio at bioimpedance analysis on long-term survival in patients receiving surgery for pancreatic cancer

Independent effect of fat-to-muscle mass ratio at bioimpedance analysis on long-term survival in patients receiving surgery for pancreatic cancer

IntroductionMalnutrition and alteration of body composition are early features in pancreatic cancer and appear to be predictors of advanced stages and dismal overall survival. Whether specific patient characteristics measured at the preoperative bioimpedance analysis (BIA) could be associated with l...
