    Critical Review: Impact of Sarcopenia on Gynecological Cancer Mortality
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2021-02-09) Alvarado Alvarado, Zarith de Jesús; Bohórquez Medina, Andrea Lisbet
    Epithelial ovarian cancer has the highest mortality rate of all gynecological cancers in the Western world. Likewise, muscle loss appears to be a negative prognostic factor also in gynecologic oncology in terms of survival and treatment success. Lower progression-free and overall survival have been reported in early and metastatic breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Therefore, the present review aimed to understand the impact of sarcopenia on the prognosis of patients with gynecological cancer. The principles of evidence-based nutrition were applied. A systematic search was carried out in 5 databases, Scopus, WOS, Pubmed, Embase and Science Direct, from the last 5 years, which allow us to answer the research question. After the selection of articles, they were evaluated through a critical reading tool to determine the degree of recommendation and level of evidence. Finally, the article with the highest degree of evidence allows us to indicate that adequate muscle mass or muscle attenuation is statistically associated with the 3- and 5-year survival ratio in patients with ovarian cancer.
