Psoas muscle variables and adjuvant chemotherapy-related and survival outcomes following pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary malignancy
Unlike PMI, preoperative HUAC, determined from psoas muscle area and density, may predict time to AC, AC-related toxicity and completion of AC following pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary cancers. However, its ability to predict survival should be evaluated by future research.
