Agreement between PG-SGA category and fat-free mass in colorectal cancer patients

Low fat-free mass (FFM) is associated with adverse outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) is a widely used tool developed to detect patients with malnutrition or at risk of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to investigate the agreement between PG-SGA category and FFM in patients with non-metastatic CRC.
