There were few studies assessed the postoperative sarcopenia in patients with cancers. The objective of present study was to assess whether postoperative development of sarcopenia could predict a poor prognosis in patients with adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction, (AEG) and upper gastric cancer (UGC).
Patients with AEG and UGC who were judged as non-sarcopenic before surgery were reassessed the presence of postoperative development of sarcopenia 6 months after surgery. Patients were divided into the development group or non-development group, and clinicopathological factors and prognosis between these two groups were analyzed.
The 5-year overall survival rates were significantly poorer in the development group than non-development group (68.0% vs. 92.6%, P = 0.0118). Multivariate analyses showed that postoperative development of sarcopenia was an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival (P = 0.0237).
Postoperative development of sarcopenia was associated with a poor prognosis in patients with AEG and UGC.
目前很少有研究评估癌症患者术后肌少症的情况。本研究旨在评估胃食管结合部腺癌(AEG)和胃上部癌(UGC)患者术后是否会发生肌少症,以及其是否能预测预后不良。
对术前未发生肌少症的 AEG 和 UGC 患者在术后 6 个月时重新评估是否出现术后肌少症的发生。将患者分为发生组和未发生组,分析两组之间的临床病理因素和预后情况。
发生组的 5 年总生存率明显低于未发生组(68.0% vs. 92.6%,P=0.0118)。多因素分析显示,术后肌少症的发生是总生存不良的独立预后因素(P=0.0237)。
AEG 和 UGC 患者术后肌少症的发生与预后不良相关。
