Impact of Preoperative Sarcopenia on Patient Survival After Esophagectomy for Cancer: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Sarcopenia is a highly prevalent condition among patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma. Patients with sarcopenia have lower DFS and OS rates compared with those without sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was independently associated with postoperative anastomotic leak, pneumonia, 90-day mortality, and poor long-term survival.
