Dynamics of body composition in the treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer: the ımpact of adipose and muscle tissue on pathological response
In patients with locally advanced rectal cancer, neither abdominal adipose composition nor mesorectal adipose volume nor psoas muscle area was predictive of response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. However, psoas muscle density, a potential indicator of muscle quality, may serve as a promising biomarker for predicting pathological response based on both baseline value and treatment-induced changes.
