Abstract:

Sarcopenia is a syndrome with progressive and extensive decrease of skeletal muscle mass and function, which has high morbidity in patients with gastrointestinal tumors, especially for gastric cancer. Sarcopenia will not only lead to body dysfunction, but also increase the risks of fracture, fall, complications, and even death. Sarcopenia is closely related to the treatment and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer, and is an independent risk factor for predicting poor prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. Timely nutritional support and exercise intervention can improve health outcomes for gastric cancer survivors through building muscle strength and attenuating sarcopenia.

Key words: Sarcopenia, Stomach neoplasms, Prognosis, Nutritional support
