Gastric Cancer Patients

Risk assessment is relevant to predict outcomes in patients with gastric cancer. This systematic review aimed to investigate the predictive value of low muscle mass for postoperative complications in gastric cancer patients. A systematic literature search was performed to identify all articles reporting on muscle mass as measured on computed tomography (CT) scans in patients with gastric cancer. After full text screening, 15 articles reporting on 4887 patients were included. Meta-analysis demonstrated that patients with low muscle mass had significantly higher odds of postoperative complications (odds ratio (OR): 2.09, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.55–2.83) and severe postoperative complications (Clavien–Dindo grade ≥III, OR: 1.73, 95% CI: 1.14–2.63). Moreover, patients with low muscle mass had a significantly higher overall mortality (hazard ratio (HR): 1.81, 95% CI: 1.52–2.14) and disease-specific mortality (HR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.36–1.84). In conclusion, assessment of muscle mass on CT scans is a potential relevant clinical tool for risk prediction in gastric cancer patients. Considering the heterogeneity in definitions applied for low muscle mass on CT scans in the included studies, a universal cutoff value of CT-based low muscle mass is required for more reliable conclusions.
