Ref. | Country | No. of patients | Inclusion | Imaging modality | Level | Time | Definition and cutoff | Sarcopenia prevalence before NAT | Resectability | Survival | Additional meaningful findings or comments |
Cooper et al[35], 2015 | United States | 89 | RPC | CT | L3 | Before and after NAT | LSMI, < 55.4 cm2/m2 (M), < 38.9 | 55% | (-) | (-) | SKM loss during NAT was correlated with DFS |
Cloyd et al[36], 2018 | United States | 127 | RPC, BRPC, LAPC | CT | L3 | Before and after NAT, 3 mo and 12 mo after surgery (PD) | LSMI, < 55.4 cm2/m2 (M), < 38.9 | 63% | NE | (-) | SKM gain between the postoperative period and 1-yr follow-up was correlated with improved OS |
Sandini et al[13], 2018 | United States and Italy | 193 | BRPC, LAPC | CT | L3 | Before and after NAT | LSMI, < 43 cm2/m2 (M) where BMI < 25 kg/m2, < 53 cm2/m2 (M) where BMI > 25 kg/m2, < 41 cm2/m2 (F)1 | 44% | (-) | NE | SKM gain during NAT is correlated with better resectability |
Griffin et al[14], 2019 | Ireland | 78 | BRPC | CT | L3 | Before and after NAT | LSMI, < 43 cm2/m2 (M) where BMI < 25 kg/m2, < 53 cm2/m2 (M) where BMI > 25 kg/m2, < 41 cm2/m2 (F)1 | 50% | (-) | (-) | Low muscle attenuation before NAT and SKM loss during NAT was correlated with decreased OS |
Takeda et al[15], 2021 | Japan | 62 | RPC | CT | L3 | Before NAT | LSMI, < 43 cm2/m2 (M) where BMI < 25 kg/m2, < 53 cm2/m2 (M) where BMI > 25 kg/m2, < 41 cm2/m2 (F)1 | 40% | (-) | NE | Sarcopenia before NAT did not correlate with antitumor response and toxicity of therapy |
Jin et al[37], 2022 | China | 119 | RPC | CT | L3 | Before and after NAT | LSMI, < 41 cm2/m2 (M), < 38.5 cm2/m2 (F) | 48% | NE | (+) OS, DFS | SKM and fat wasting during NAT was correlated with decreased OS and DFS |
