The objectives were (i) to describe the incidence of sarcopenia in relation to adipose tissue quantity and distribution and muscle strength; (ii) to evaluate if neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRTx) influences body composition and muscle strength; and (iii) to evaluate the influence of body composition and muscle strength on post\u2010operative morbidity and long\u2010term survival.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This retrospective study included patients with oesophageal cancer who received nCRTx followed by surgery between January 2011 and 2016. Skeletal muscle, visceral, and subcutaneous adipose tissue cross\u2010sectional areas were calculated based on computed tomography scans, and muscle strength was measured using hand grip tests, 30\u00a0seconds chair stand tests, and maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure tests prior to nCRTx and after nCRTx.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 322 patients were included in this study. Sarcopenia was present in 55.6% of the patients prior to nCRTx and in 58.2% after nCRTx (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.082). Patients with sarcopenia had a significantly lower muscle strength and higher fat percentage. The muscle strength and incidence of sarcopenia increased while the mean body mass index and fat percentage decreased during nCRTx. A body mass index above 25\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> was associated with anastomotic leakage (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.032). Other body composition parameters were not associated with post\u2010operative morbidity. A lower handgrip strength prior to nCRTx was associated with pulmonary and cardiac complications (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.023 and <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.009, respectively). In multivariable analysis, a lower number of stands during the 30\u00a0seconds chair stand test prior to nCRTx (hazard ratio 0.93, 95% confidence interval 0.87\u20130.99, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.017) and visceral adipose tissue of &gt;128\u00a0cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> after nCRTx (hazard ratio 1.81, 95% confidence interval 1.30\u20132.53, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001) were associated with worse overall survival.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Sarcopenia occurs frequently in patients with oesophageal cancer and is associated with less muscle strength and a higher fat percentage. Body composition changes during nCRTx did not influence survival. Impaired muscle strength and a high amount of visceral adipose tissue are associated with worse survival. Therefore, patients with poor fitness might benefit from preoperative nutritional and muscle strengthening guidance, aiming to increase muscle strength and decrease visceral adipose tissue. However, this should be confirmed in a large prospective
