Evolution of Corporeal Composition in the PeriOperative Period

Denutrition and Obesity are risk factors for perioperative surgical complications. In patient with cancer, incidence of denutrition is markedly increased. Surgical resection of cancer induces a high intensity cellular stress response and catabolism reinforcing the risk for perioperative denutrition. In this study, we thought to investigate the change in body composition during the perioperative period using anthropometric measurements and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA).
