Cancer patients with obesity are often considered as a population who are not facing any malnutrition issues, and in many cases they are not properly assessed for malnutrition. However it is often the case that these patients face sarcopenic obesity (SO), which is characterized by the coexistence of obesity and low muscle mass and function. The prevalence of sarcopenic obesity varies among the various cancer types and diagnostic criteria but was reported to be 20% in a recent meta-analysis (1). Sarcopenic obesity has a distinguished effect on quality of life and survival, among others. Therefore, we strongly recommend that all patients with cancer, no matter their size, should undergo thorough nutritional assessment. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dqJkPGjZ
