Preoperative sarcopenia is an independent prognostic factor of postoperative morbidity and shorter survival in CRC peritoneal metastasis patients treated with CRS-HIPEC. Our findings support the importance of preoperative screening for sarcopenia as part of preoperative risk assessment for better selection of CRS-HIPEC candidates or treatment modifications in CRC patients with peritoneal metastasis.
