| Core Tip |
In the challenging landscape of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), where late diagnosis often brings progressive dysphagia, feeding difficulties, and chronic caloric-protein deficits that accelerate muscle wasting even before treatment begins, Xiao et al offer a compelling insight. Baseline body mass index emerges as a simple yet potent predictor of low muscle mass in ESCC patients facing chemoradiotherapy, highlighting opportunities for early nutritional and exercise interventions to mitigate poor survival outcomes. |
