Effect of Perioperative Physical Activity on Skeletal Muscle Loss 6 Months After Esophageal Cancer Surgery
A low perioperative step count and older age were significant risk factors for skeletal muscle loss in patients with esophageal cancer undergoing surgery. For patients with a low number of steps in the perioperative period or for older patients, interventions to increase the number of steps may prevent skeletal muscle loss.
