Skeletal muscle gauge as a prognostic factor in patients with colorectal cancer

Abstract Background Although skeletal muscle index (SMI) and radiodensity (SMD) are well‐known prognostic factors, the clinical impact of the integrated measure, known as skeletal muscle gauge (SMG), has been limited in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Patients and Methods A total of 727 and 2...
