![]() ![]() Predictors of pathologic response and postoperative complications were investigated using logistic regression analysis. Visceral fat area (VFA), superficial fat area (SFA), visceral/superficial fat area ratio (V/S), perinephric fat thickness (PNF), and waist circumference (WC) were estimated by baseline CT scan. Methods: All patients who underwent surgical resection following nCRT between 20 for mid-low rectal cancer were retrospectively collected. The secondary aim of the study was to assess the role of BMI and RFP on major surgical complications, overall survival (OS), and disease-free survival (DFS). 5Radiotherapy Unit, Veneto Institute of Oncology IOV - IRCCS, Padova, Italyīackground: The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation between body mass index (BMI) and body fat composition (measured with radiological fat parameters (RFP)) and pathological response after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced rectal cancer patients.4Unit of Medical Oncology 1, Veneto Institute of Oncology IOV - IRCCS, Padova, Italy. ![]() 3Unit of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Public Health, Department of Cardiac, Thoracic, Vascular Sciences and Public Health, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.2Institute of Radiology - Department of Medicine, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.1General Surgery 3, Department of Surgical- Oncological and Gastroenterological Sciences DiSCOG, University of Padova, Padova, Italy.Quoc Riccardo Bao 1*†‡, Filippo Crimì 2†‡, Giovanni Valotto 1‡, Valentina Chiminazzo 3, Francesca Bergamo 4‡, Alessandra Anna Prete 4‡, Sara Galuppo 5‡, Badr El Khouzai 5‡, Emilio Quaia 2‡, Salvatore Pucciarelli 1‡ and Emanuele Damiano Luca Urso 1‡ ![]()
