Sarcopenia Is a Prognostic Factor of Adverse Effects and Mortality in Patients With Tumour: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between sarcopenia and adverse effects and mortality in patients with tumours that received radio- and/or chemotherapy, stratified by study design, tumour category, the method sarcopenia assessed, treatment options, study location and among other factors.
