Association between Sarcopenia and Survival in Patients Undergoing Gamma Knife Surgery for Brain Metastasis from Breast Cancer: a Retrospective Single-centre Cohort Study
Many recent studies related to cancer surgery have reported that sarcopenia influences mortality in surgical patients. However, few comprehensive studies have examined the associations between sarcopenia and short- and long-term surgical outcomes of metastatic cancer, especially breast cancer with brain metastasis. In the present study, we investigated the association between sarcopenia and mortality in patients who underwent gamma knife radiosurgery (GKRS) for brain metastasis with breast cancer.
