However, the role of body composition and sarcopenia in aGC survival remains debated. This study aimed to evaluate how abdominal visceral and subcutaneous fat volumes, psoas muscle volume, and the visceral-to-subcutaneous (VF/SF) volume ratio impact overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in aGC patients receiving first-line palliative chemotherapy. We retrospectively examined CT scans of 65 aGC patients, quantifying body composition parameters (BCPs) in 2D and 3D. Normalized 3D BCP volumes were determined, and the VF/SF ratio was computed. Survival outcomes were analyzed using the Cox Proportional Hazard model between the upper and lower halves of the distribution. Additionally, response to first-line chemotherapy was compared using the χ2 test. Patients with a higher VF/SF ratio (N = 33) exhib...
