AI-based metabolic phenotyping reveals preferential adipose tissue depletion after esophagectomy
Background and objective: Weight loss after esophagectomy is associated with impaired recovery and reduced long-term survival, yet the underlying postoperative metabolic phenotype remains poorly characterized. While sarcopenia is commonly assumed, the relative contribution of adipose tissue versus skeletal [for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
