Sarcopenia results in poor survival rates in oral cavity cancer patients

Clinical Otolaryngology Dec 04, 2019

Lin SC, Lin YS, Kang BH, et al. - Researchers performed this retrospective cohort study among oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients who received treatment at their referral center from April 2005 to March 2014, to know the influence or survival of low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) in OSCC patients undergoing primary surgery. They examined overall 276 patients with a male-to-female ratio of 12:1. Findings revealed that among patients suffering from oral cavity cancers and were undergoing primary surgery, low SMM was identified as a significant independent factor that was related to lower survival. The assessment of SMM, prediction of treatment outcomes, and facilitation of nutrition management could be done using preoperative CT scans of the head and neck.
