    Abstract

    Malnutrition can lead to poor outcome in patientswith colorectal cancer (CRC). Body composition, particularlysarcopenia, may be directly pertinent to clinical outcome [1].However, there are minimal data on the roles of computedtomography (CT) and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA)in determining body composition in this group.
