Objective: This study aimed to compare three objective nutritional screening tools for identifying GLIM-defined malnutrition in patients with gastric cancer (GC).
Method: Objective nutritional screening tools including geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score, were evaluated in patients with GC at our institution. Malnutrition was diagnosed according to the GLIM criteria.
Background: Low muscle mass was significantly correlated with poor clinical outcomes in cancer patients. This study aimed to compare the differences between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and computed tomography (CT) in measuring skeletal muscle mass and detecting low muscle mass in patients with gastric cancer (GC).
Method: This cross-sectional study included a total of 302 consecutive patients diagnosed with GC at our institution from October 2021 to March 2023.
Background: Patients with gastric cancer (GC) are more likely to experience malnutrition and muscle wasting. This study aims to investigate the potential of phase angle (PhA) as a screening tool for identifying malnutrition and sarcopenia in GC patients, as well as its association with short-term outcomes after radical gastrectomy.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled patients diagnosed with GC at The Affiliated People's Hospital of Jiangsu University from October 2021 to September 2022.
Background: STAD ranked 5th most common in the incidence of malignant tumors and 3rd most common in the death rate of cancer worldwide. CXC chemokines affect the biological progress of various tumors, resulting in therapeutic failure. The role of CXCL2 in STAD was still a mystery.
