Abstract:
Sarcopenia is observed to have age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance, which can be an effective prognostic indicator for postoperative complications and poor survival outcomes in tumor patients. Sarcopenia could reflect tumor-host interactions and has the advantages in accuracy and generality compared with traditional predictors. This paper reviews the research progress of sarcopenia in predicting the prognosis of genitourinary tumors.
