| Core Tip |
This study identifies high visceral fat area as an independent driver of perioperative skeletal muscle loss and poor survival in colorectal cancer. Using dynamic computed tomography monitoring, we demonstrate that visceral obesity exacerbates muscle wasting through chronic inflammation. Paradoxically, higher preoperative muscle mass increased skeletal muscle loss risk, potentially indicating underlying myosteatosis. These findings redefine the fat-muscle axis in cancer prognosis and highlight the critical need for preoperative body composition assessment to guide metabolic interventions and improve long-term outcomes. |
