BACKGROUND: Prognosis after pancreatoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer is
determined by tumor characteristics, completeness of resection, and patient's comorbidity …

Objective To evaluate predictive values of sarcopenia and visceral obesity measured from
preoperative CT/MRIs for postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) after …

Background: Despite that mortality following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) has gradually
dropped during the past few decades, the incidence of postoperative complications remains …

Objective To determine whether sarcopenia can potentially predict worse survival after
resection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Background Sarcopenia is correlated with …

Introduction The obesity epidemic coupled with epidemiologic evidence of the link between
pancreatic cancer and obesity has raised the interest in the impact of body mass index (BMI) …

Introduction Sarcopenia is linked to poor outcomes after abdominal surgery. We
hypothesized that radiographic sarcopenia metrics enhance prediction of complications after …

Background Sarcopenia is associated with poor outcomes in many malignancies. However,
the relationship between sarcopenia and the prognosis of pancreatic cancer has not been …

Background Obesity is a major global health problem, and it has reached epidemic
proportions worldwide. Therefore, surgeons will confront an increasingly larger proportion of …

Background To examine the effect of body mass index (BMI) on clinicopathologic factors and
long-term survival in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic …

Background and Objectives Sarcopenia, which is subclinical loss of skeletal muscle mass, is
commonly observed in patients with malignancy. The objective of this study is to determine …
