Emerging evidence suggests that body composition, including skeletal muscle mass and adiposity distribution, plays a crucial role in predicting patient outcomes. However, its impact on survival in pancreatic cancer remains incompletely understood. The aim of this systematic review was to assess the correlation between body composition parameters and survival outcomes in pancreatic cancer patients, focusing on overall survival. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted, including three main components: pancreatic cancer, body composition, and survival outcomes. Results: 23 studies were included in this review. The findings indicate that body composition can serve as a predictor of survival in pancreatic cancer patients, with 21 studies reporting a significant correlation. The most frequently observed predictor, with 11 studies reporting, was not a baseline parameter but rather changes in parameters over time during treatment. However, discrepancies remain regarding the extent of predictive power and the relative importance of individual components. Conclusions: Specific body composition parameters hold potential as prognostic indicators of survival in pancreatic cancer patients. However, further research is necessary to establish consistent patterns and to clarify which parameters are most predictive and under what conditions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/tomography12010008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]],"date-time":"2026-01-08T09:01:29Z","timestamp":1767862889000},"page":"8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Correlation of Computed Tomography (CT)-Based Body Composition and Survival in Pancreatic Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Lena","family":"Supe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, Universit\u00e0 della Svizzera italiana, 6962 Lugano, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5151-0866","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefania","family":"Rizzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, Universit\u00e0 della Svizzera italiana, 6962 Lugano, Switzerland"},{"name":"Clinic of Radiology, Institute of Integrated Diagnostics of Southern Switzerland (IDISI), Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale (EOC), 6900 Lugano, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9694","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v22.i44.9694","article-title":"Epidemiology of pancreatic cancer","volume":"22","author":"Ilic","year":"2016","journal-title":"World J.
