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 is to find patients who might benefit from extra support before surgery.
