P1.227. A Composite Body Composition Score Independently Predicts Long-Term Survival After Esophagectomy for Cancer
Abstract Topic Esophageal Cancer: Surgical Treatment of Esophageal Cancer – long term outcomes Background Body composition (BC) measures are established determinants of esophageal cancer outcomes. Beyond known survival predictors such as cancer stage and performance status, a composite BC score independently predicts post-resection survival in lung cancer. We adapted this score for esophageal cancer patients to evaluate its association with long-term survival following esophagectomy. Methods This is a single-instit …
