Abstract

Oesophagogastric cancer resection carries morbidity as high as 60%. Better patient selection, not only with regards to clinical stage but also with fitness, reduces morbidity and improves outcome. Assessment of sarcopenia (SMI) and incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) are two such tools to evaluate patient fitness. We investigate the influence of these two tools in predicting post-operative outcomes following Oesophagogastric resection.
