Baseline sarcopenia or severe lean muscle deficiency is independently associated with increased mortality after cystectomy for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (MIUC). The impact of chemotherapy on muscle mass in MIUC patients remains undefined.

Cancer cachexia is associated with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between sarcopenia and survival in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

We retrospectively evaluated 197 patients diagnosed with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer in our department and its affiliated institution between January 2008 and December 2015.

A multicentre study was conducted to investigate the impact of sarcopenia as an independent predictor of oncological outcome after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

In total, 500 patients with available digital computed tomography scans of the abdomen obtained within 90 days before surgery were identified.

Sarcopenia is associated with inferior perioperative and oncologic outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for multiple malignancies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between sarcopenia and outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) for men with prostate cancer.
