Background The quantity and distribution of adipose tissue may be prognostic measures of
mortality in colorectal cancer patients, and such associations may vary by patient sex …

Methods Four hundred seventy-two patients with stage III CRC were identified.
Subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue areas were measured volumetrically via …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of adipose tissue characteristics with
survival in rectal cancer patients. All consecutive patients, diagnosed with stage II–IV rectal …

Excess adiposity is an established risk factor for incident colorectal cancer (CRC) but
whether this association extrapolates to poorer survival is unclear. We undertook a …

Abdominal visceral fat is a well-recognized a risk for colorectal cancer (CRC). In contrast to
the risk for CRC, the impact of adiposity in disease staging and patient survival is less well …

Although obesity is a well-known risk factor for several cancers, its role on cancer survival is
poorly understood. We conducted a systematic literature review to assess the current …

Purpose Obesity is closely related to the development of colorectal cancer as well as other
metabolic complications. We investigated the prognostic significance of visceral obesity and …

Purpose The increasing availability of clinical imaging tests (especially CT and MRI) that
directly quantify adipose tissue has led to a rapid increase in studies examining the …

BACKGROUND: Abdominal obesity—an elevated level of visceral adipose tissue—has
been linked to colorectal cancer. Furthermore, elevated levels of visceral adipose tissue …

Studies have reported conflicting results on the association between body mass index (BMI)
and prognosis of colorectal cancer. Therefore, we have conducted a meta-analysis of …
