Impact of body composition on clinical outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Abnormalities in body composition are common in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, their impact across different treatment modalities remains poorly understood. We systematically reviewed the prognostic value of body composition in patients with HCC, stratified by curative, locoregional, and systemic therapies.
