Changes in Body Composition of Patients With Obesity Related Tumors and Their Impact on Clinical Outcomes: a Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 8 Sept 2025 · Not updated for over 12 months - ask the site whether it is still open

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Over the past 20 years, China's obesity rates have surged, increasing cancer burden. Obesity links to 13 cancers via metabolic effects of visceral fat and insulin resistance, while sarcopenic obesity (BMI-independent) may worsen outcomes. Traditional BMI lacks precision; advanced methods (e.g., BIA/CT) are needed. Existing studies show inconsistent results, possibly due to heterogeneity. This multicenter prospective cohort study uses imaging to assess body composition changes (fat/muscle) in obesity-related tumors and their impact on survival, recurrence, and quality of life, and explore the underlying mechanism.

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Patients with concurrent non-obesity-related malignancies.
  • Patients with concurrent multiorgan dysfunction syndrome, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, neurological disorders, or psychiatric disorders.

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥18 years, regardless of gender.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed obesity-associated malignant tumors (e.g., breast cancer, colorectal cancer, gastric cancer, lung cancer, or thyroid cancer) with planned treatment after diagnosis (any treatment modality permitted).
  • No prior chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, or other antitumor treatments for malignancy.

Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: All · Accepts healthy volunteers
