Multiparametric Approach to the Colorectal Cancer Phenotypes Integrating Morphofunctional Assessment and Computer Tomography.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Accurate body composition assessment in CCR patients is crucial due to the high prevalence of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and cachexia affecting survival. This study evaluates the correlation between body composition assessed by CT imaging as a reference technique, BIVA, nutritional ultrasound, and handgrip strength in CCR patients. (2) Methods: This retrospective study included CCR patients assessed by the Endocrinology and Nutrition Services of Virgen de la Victoria in Malaga and Vall d'Hebron in Barcelona from October 2018 to July 2023. Assessments included anthropometry, BIVA, NU, HGS, and AI-assisted CT analysis at the L3 level for body composition. Pearson's analysis determined the correlation of CT-derived variables with BIVA, NU, and HGS. (3) Results: A total of 267 C
