Prognostic impact of sarcopenia on 5-year overall and progression-free survival in lung cancer patients: a prospective cohort study
Sarcopenia is associated with reduced overall survival time and progression-free survival in lung cancer patients. Sarcopenia is an independent predictor of poor survival particularly in specific high-risk subgroups. When assessing for sarcopenia it is crucial to include assessment of muscle function in evaluating the prognosis of lung cancer.
