High subcutaneous adipose tissue density correlates negatively with survival in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Background & Aims: Body composition parameters have been reported to add information, which can lead to tailored treatment and prognostication for oncological patients. Data for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are scarce. We assessed the association between different body composition parameters and overall survival (OS) in two different newly diagnosed HCC populations.
