Core Tip This study evaluated the impact of pretreatment sarcopenia and tumor-related magnetic resonance imaging parameters on the response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy and overall survival in rectal cancer patients. The results show that while sarcopenia was not an independent predictor of treatment response or survival, tumor-related factors such as tumor length, mesorectal fascia involvement, and clinical T/N stage were significant predictors. These findings highlight the value of tumor-related imaging parameters in pretreatment risk stratification and personalized management for rectal cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy.
