Prognostic and clinical implications of CT-morphometric sarcopenia in adult myxofibrosarcoma patients: a longitudinal analysis
CT-based body composition analysis offers a practical approach for risk stratification in MFS patients. Routine assessment of sarcopenia using existing imaging can help identify those at higher risk for poor survival, extended hospitalization, and wound complications. Incorporating these metrics into preoperative planning may guide early supportive measures, such as nutritional and wound care interventions. Prospective multicenter studies are needed to confirm these findings and assess whether targeted strategies can reduce sarcopenia-related morbidity and improve outcomes in this rare sarcoma.
