Sarcopenia is a prognostic factor for overall survival in elderly patients with head-and-neck cancer
OBJECTIVES: Sarcopenia is known as a geriatric syndrome associated with increased disability and decreased survival in elderly patients. In oncological patients, pretreatment low skeletal muscle mass (SMM), sometimes referred to as sarcopenia, is an emerging negative prognostic factor. Commonly, onl...
