Elevated 18F-FDG uptake in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Correlates Negatively with Nutritional Status and Prognostic Survival in Cachexia Patients with Gastric Cancer

Browning of white adipose tissue is a crucial factor contributing to adipose loss in cachexia patients, detectable via 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake. The present study elucidates the clinical relevance of 18F-FDG uptake in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of gastric cancer patients, specifically focusing on adipose browning and its implications on patient clinical parameters and prognosis.
