Clinical assessment of sarcopenia and changes in body composition during neoadjuvant chemotherapy for esophageal cancer
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | FFM, SMM, BFM | Miyata H et al. | 2017 | Japan | Anticancer Research
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess changes in body composition during neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and investigate whether chemotherapy-related toxicities affect body composition in patients with esophageal cancer. Patients and Methods: In ninety-four patients who underwent NAC for esophageal cancer, body composition was assessed before and after NAC. Associations between the incidence of toxicities and change in body composition during NAC were investigated. Results: Forty-four (46.8%) and 50 (53.2%) out …
Multifrequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Compared With Computed Tomography for Assessment of Skeletal Muscle Mass in Pri
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | TBW, ECW/TBW, SMM, BFM, Phase Angle | Kim et al. | 2019 | Korea | Nutrition in Clinical Practice
Background Herein, we evaluate the accuracy and reliability of multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to assess skeletal muscle mass (SMM) in the colorectal cancer patient compared with computed tomography (CT) scan and also analyze the association between SMM of BIA and postoperative outcomes. Methods From March to May 2017, the body composition of patients scheduled for elective surgery due to primary colorectal cancer in our institution was analyzed at the time of admission using BIA (InBody S20, Biospace Co …
Association between preoperative sleep disturbance and low muscle mass in patients with gastrointestinal cancer
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | SMI, BMI | Maho Okumura et al. | 2019 | Japan | Journal of Physical Therapy Science
[Purpose] Low muscle mass and sleep disturbance are common among geriatric patients with cancer. In patients with gastrointestinal cancer, low muscle mass is considered an indicator of poor prognosis. In the recent years, sleep disturbance has attracted much attention as a factor for low muscle mass among community-dwelling elderly individuals; however, such associations are unclear in patients with cancer. The present study investigated the relationship between preoperative sleep disturbance and low muscle mass …
Chronological changes in quality of life and body composition after gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | Protein, BFM, FFM, SMM, ECW/TBW, VFA | Park et al. | 2020 | Korea | Annals of Surgical Treatment and Research
Purpose We evaluated the changes in body composition (BC) and quality of life (QoL) in patients who underwent gastrectomy for advanced gastric cancer. Methods BC data using segmental multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis and QoL data from the EORTC (European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer) gathered via QLQ-C30 and QLQ-STO22 questionnaires were obtained from 300 patients preoperatively and at 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery. In total, 114 patients underwent total gastrectomy (TG group) and …
Bioelectrical impedance analysis for prediction of early complications after gastrectomy in elderly patients with gastric cance
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | Phase Angle | Yu et al. | 2019 | Korea | Journal of Gastric Cancer
Purpose Phase angle obtained using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provides a relatively precise assessment of the nutritional status of elderly patients. This study aimed to evaluate the significance of phase angle as a risk factor for complications after gastrectomy in elderly patients. Materials and Methods We evaluated 210 elderly patients (aged≥ 65 years) who had undergone gastrectomy for gastric cancer between August 2016 and August 2017. The phase angle cutoff value was calculated using receiver operating characteristic …
Prognostic significance of low pre-transplant skeletal muscle mass on survival outcomes in patients undergoing hematopoietic st
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | SMMI | K. Sakatoku et al. | 2019 | Japan | International Journal of Hematology
Little is known about the prognostic significance of muscle loss for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT). We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who received allo-HCT from 2013 to 2015. All patients underwent computed tomography (CT) imaging and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) within 30 days before allo-HCT. Skeletal muscle area (cm 2) at the third lumbar vertebra level on CT imaging and skeletal muscle mass (kg) measured by BIA were normalized by height in meters squared (m 2) to calculate …
Systematic review of randomized controlled trials of exercise interventions using digital activity trackers in patients with ca
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | - | Schaffer et al. | 2019 | USA | Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network
Background: Exercise can ameliorate cancer-and treatment-related toxicities, but poor adherence to exercise regimens is a barrier. Exercise interventions using digital activity trackers (E-DATs) may improve exercise adherence, but data are limited for patients with cancer. We conducted a systematic review examining the feasibility of E-DATs in cancer survivors and effects on activity level, body composition, objective fitness outcomes, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), self-reported symptoms, and biomarkers. Methods: We …
Using quality of life scales with nutritional relevance after gastrectomy: a challenge for providing personalized treatment
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | BW, BMI, TBW, FFM, BFM, PBF, WHR | SS Lee et al. | 2017 | Korea | Journal of gastric Cancer
Purpose This study evaluated the changes in nutritional status based on quality of life (QoL) item-level analysis to determine whether individual QoL responses might facilitate personal clinical impact. Materials and Methods This study retrospectively evaluated QoL data obtained by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Stomach (QLQ-STO22) as well as metabolic-nutritional data obtained by bioelectrical impedance …
Barriers and enablers to physical activity and aerobic fitness deficits among childhood cancer survivors
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | WHR, PBF | Mizrahi et al. | 2020 | Australia | Pediatric Blood and Cancer
Background Physical activity and aerobic fitness are modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) after childhood cancer. How survivors engage in physical activity remains unclear, potentially increasing CVD risk. We assessed survivors' physical activity levels, barriers and enablers, fitness, and identified predictors of fitness and physical activity stage of change. Methods Childhood cancer survivors (CCS; 8‐18 years old)≥ 1 year post‐treatment were assessed for aerobic fitness (6‐min walk test), used to extrapolate …
Nutritional and clinical factors affecting weight and fat-free mass loss after gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer
Cancer/ Palliative treatment | FFM | Lim et al. | 2020 | Korea | Nutrients
After a gastrectomy, the nutritional status of patients with gastric cancer has great effect on the treatment outcome and patients' quality of life. We investigated the changes in body composition and nutrient intake after gastrectomy in 288 gastric cancer patients. A multiple linear regression analysis was used for each time period to verify the effects of nutritional and clinical factors on weight and fat-free mass loss rates. Gastric cancer patients who underwent a gastrectomy continued to experience weight and fat-free mass loss until three …
