Preoperative sarcopenia is associated with poor overall survival in pancreatic cancer patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract：

OBJECTIVES:To analyze the effect of preoperative body composition on survival in patients with pancreatic cancer following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). METHODS:Between October 2005 and August 2018, 116 patients (68 men, 48 women, mean age 66.2 ± 11.9 years) diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma following PD were retrospectively enrolled. The preoperative CT on vertebral level L3 was assessed for total abdominal muscle area (TAMA), visceral adipose tissue area (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue area (SAT), and mean skeletal muscle attenuation (SMD). The clinical data and pathological findings of tumors were collected. The impact of these factors on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) was evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method and by univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. RESULTS:The 3-year DFS and OS rates were 8% and 25%, respectively. Of 116 patients, 20 (17.2%), 3 (2.6%), and 46 (39.7%) patients were classified as having sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, and myosteatosis, respectively. The VAT-TAMA ratio (1.2 ± 0.7 vs 0.9 ± 0.5, p = 0.01) and the visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue area ratio (1.3 ± 0.7 vs 0.9 ± 0.5, p = 0.04) were higher in sarcopenic patients than in the nonsarcopenic group. Preoperative sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity were associated with shorter OS (p = 0.012 and p = 0.041, respectively), but not shorter DFS. Myosteatosis was neither associated with DFS nor OS. On multivariable analysis, sarcopenia was the only significant prognostic factor for OS (p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS:Preoperative sarcopenia assessed by CT is a poor prognostic factor for OS in pancreatic cancer patients after PD. KEY POINTS:• Sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity can be evaluated by abdominal CT on L3 level. • Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) had lower sex-standardized subcutaneous adipose tissue area index and skeletal muscle density and higher visceral to subcutaneous adipose tissue area ratio than did those without DM. • Preoperative sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity, and new-onset diabetes mellitus may predict poor overall survival in pancreatic cancer patients following pancreaticoduodenectomy.
