Figure 1 Trends of poor survival were observed for patients with increasing preoperative weight loss and decreasing body mass index.
A, B: Risk of reduced survival (blue line) increases with decreasing BMI (A) and increasing PWL (B). Median OS (golden line) decreases with decreasing BMI (A) and increasing PWL (B). PWL: Preoperative weight loss; BMI: Body mass index.
