Summary

This study looked at 70 adults with colorectal cancer to see how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) is before surgery and whether it leads to more complications or longer hospital stays. Researchers measured muscle strength, mass, and physical performance. The goal was to find high-risk patients who might benefit from pre-surgery nutrition or exercise programs.
