Sarcopenia as an independent prognostic marker in liposarcoma: A longitudinal analysis of body composition and survival

CT-morphometric parameters deteriorate substantially during the disease course of liposarcoma patients and serve as independent predictors of survival. These findings support the integration of CT-based body composition analysis into routine oncologic assessment and highlight its potential role in identifying high-risk patients for early supportive intervention.

Abstract

CT-morphometric parameters deteriorate substantially during the disease course of liposarcoma patients and serve as independent predictors of survival. These findings support the integration of CT-based body composition analysis into routine oncologic assessment and highlight its potential role in identifying high-risk patients for early supportive intervention.
