| الوصف: | Prognosis in advanced gastric cancer (aGC) is predicted by clinical factors, such as stage, performance status, metastasis location, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio. However, the role of body composition and sarcopenia in aGC survival remains debated. This study aimed to evaluate how abdominal visceral and subcutaneous fat volumes, psoas muscle volume, and the visceral-to- subcutaneous (VF/SF) volume ratio impact overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in aGC patients receiving first-line palliative chemotherapy. We retrospectively examined CT scans of 65 aGC patients, quantifying body composition parameters (BCPs) in 2D and 3D. Normalized 3D BCP volumes were determined, and the VF/SF ratio was computed. Survival outcomes were analyzed using the Cox Proportional Hazard model between the upper and lower halves of the distribution. Additionally, response to first-line chemotherapy was compared using the χ2 test. Patients with a higher VF/SF ratio (N = 33) exhibited significantly poorer OS (p = 0.02) and PFS (p < 0.005) and had a less favorable response to first-line chemotherapy (p = 0.033), with a lower Disease Control Rate (p = 0.016). Notably, absolute BCP measures and sarcopenia did not predict survival. In conclusion, radiologically assessed VF/SF volume ratio emerged as a robust and independent predictor of both survival and treatment response in aGC patients |
