The prognostic impact of body mass index on patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Body mass index (BMI) is considered a negative prognostic factor in gastric cancer (GC), but its impact on different types of pathology remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between BMI and clinicopathology and its impact on the prognosis of GC, particularly between adenocarcinoma and mucinous adenocarcinoma subtypes.

Methods

This study analyzed 3,081 GC patients who received extensive GC surgery at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between April 2008 and December 2019. Demographic characteristics, tumor characteristics, and survival data were reviewed from the medical records of all patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis detected independent risk factors affecting prognosis in GC patients. Furthermore, the correlation
