Introduction: Sarcopenia is a predictor of clinical outcomes in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC); however, correlates and predictors of sarcopenia are poorly understood in this population. The aim of this study was to examine correlates and predictors of sarcopenia in men with mCRPC prior to treatment.
Methods: A secondary analysis of an observational study was performed.
Article Synopsis
- * This study aimed to assess sarcopenia using CT scans and muscle function measurements to see how it affects treatment toxicity, emergency room visits, disease progression, and mortality in men beginning chemotherapy or ARAT therapy for mCRPC.
- * Among 110 men analyzed, 27.3% were found to be sarcopenic; this condition significantly predicted severe treatment toxicity, emergency room visits for those receiving ARAT, and was linked to worse outcomes like disease progression and higher overall mortality, regardless
