Impact of sarcopenia and low muscle attenuation on outcomes of ovarian cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Both low skeletal muscle mass and low muscle quality showed significant association with poor long-term survival and an increased risk of complications. However, they do not have a significant association with the risk of recurrence and progression-free survival. There is a need for more prospective studies to confirm these associations.PMID:37259736 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202305_32461
