| Core Tip |
Body composition analysis is indispensable in modern comprehensive cancer care, especially so in esophageal cancer. Traditional indicators of depletion of body reserves such as weight loss and body mass index remain useful to some extent and in certain populations but direct assessment of muscle mass, muscle quality and adipose tissue mass offer better sensitivity and specificity especially in the normal and overweight body mass index groups. |
