Hypopharyngeal cancer patients tend to exhibit sarcopenia, which is associated with poor treatment outcomes. This study aims to determine the correlation between nutritional status and sarcopenia, and their prognostic role in surgically treated hypopharyngeal cancer.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients who had been diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma originating from the hypopharynx and underwent surgery between January 2009 and December 2019 were enrolled in this study. The median neutrophil\u2010to\u2010lymphocyte ratio and prognostic nutritional index (PNI) of the cohort were considered the cut\u2010off values. Sarcopenia was evaluated by measuring skeletal muscle index (SMI) at the third lumbar vertebra. Clinical and serological factors predictive of survival outcomes were evaluated.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with high PNI showed better 5\u2010year Overall survival (OS) (52.8% vs. 27.2%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.001) and disease\u2010free survival (DFS) (59.6% vs. 44.6%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.033) than those with low PNI. Likewise, patients with low SMI showed worse 5\u2010year OS (25.0% vs. 60.9%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.002) and DFS (42.4% vs. 68.7%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.034) than patients with high SMI. Among the patients with high PNI, those with sarcopenia displayed significantly worse OS than those with high SMI (78.0% vs. 34.4%, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.049). High PNI with high SMI presented better overall (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.010) and DFS (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.055) than any other group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Both sarcopenia and PNI were associated with the prognosis of hypopharyngeal cancer. Considering that PNI and sarcopenia indicate the nutritional status, nutritional status may be a significant risk factor. Therefore, nutritional support that ameliorates sarcopenia may improve survival outcomes in surgically treated patients with hypopharyngeal cancer.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/wjs.12246","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,13]],"date-time":"2024-06-13T01:54:57Z","timestamp":1718243697000},"page":"1892-1901","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Discrete
