Chronological improvement in survival following rectal cancer surgery: a large-scale, single-center study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Skeletal muscle depletion, referred to as sarcopenia, has been shown to be an independent predictor of lower disease-free and overall survivals in various kinds of diseases. The quality of skeletal muscle has recently attracted much attention as a new parameter of sarcopenia, but its impact on surgical compl...
