Therefore, this study was conducted to clarify whether muscle loss during cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy affects prognosis in patients with ovarian cancer. We retrospectively recruited 58 patients with ovarian cancer who underwent site reductive surgery and chemotherapy at Shimane University Hospital from March 2006 to November 2013 and for whom pre- and postoperative computed tomography were available. Skeletal muscle changes and fat mass volume during primary debulking surgery and chemotherapy were subsequently investigated at the level of the third lumbar vertebra. Muscle and fat mass loss occurred independently in half of the patients. Muscle loss, but not fat loss, was associated with disease-free survival (p = 0.041 and p = 0.794, respectively) and poor overall survival (p = 0.033 and p = 0.61, respectively). Cancer therapy is invasive and causes compositional changes in the body, such as muscle and fat loss. During cancer therapy, muscle loss, but not fat loss, may be associated with worse prognosis in ovarian cancer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11113184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,2]],"date-time":"2022-06-02T11:05:02Z","timestamp":1654167902000},"page":"3184","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Effect of Muscle Loss but Not Fat Loss during Primary Debulking Surgery and Chemotherapy on Prognosis of Patients with Ovarian Cancer"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Naomi","family":"Nakayama","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine and Community Health Science, Hyogo Medical University, Sasayama Medical Center, 5 Kurooka, Tanbasasayama 669-2321, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kentaro","family":"Nakayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shimane University, 89-1 Enya, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tomoka","family":"Ishibashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shimane University, 89-1 Enya, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satoru","family":"Katayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Medicine and Community Health Science, Hyogo Medical University, Sasayama Medical Center, 5 Kurooka, Tanbasasayama 669-2321, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8986-6147","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Satoru","family":"Kyo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Shimane University, 89-1 Enya, Izumo 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.3322\/canjclin.45.1.8","article-title":"Cancer statistics","volume":"45","author":"Wingo","year":"1995","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
