Background Sarcopenia is commonly observed in patients with advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). However, the effect of body composition changes-during primary debulking surgery (PDS) and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy-on outcomes of patients with advanced-stage EOC is unknown. This study aimed to evaluate the association between body composition changes and outcomes of patients with stage III EOC treated with PDS and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy. Methods Pre-treatment and post-treatment computed tomography (CT) images of 139 patients with stage III EOC were analysed. All CT images were contrast-enhanced scans and were acquired according to a standardized protocol. The skeletal muscle index (SMI), skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD), and total adipose tissue index were measured using CT images obtained at the L3 vertebral level. Predictors of overall survival were identified using Cox regression models. Results The median follow-up was 37.9 months. The median duration between pre-treatment and post-treatment CT was 182 days (interquartile range: 161-225 days). Patients experienced an average SMI loss of 1.8%/180 days (95% confidence interval: -3.1 to -0.4; P = 0.01) and SMD loss of 1.7%/180 days (95% confidence interval: -3.3 to -0.03; P = 0.046). SMI and SMD changes were weakly correlated with body mass index changes (Spearman rho for SMI, 0.15, P = 0.07; rho for SMD, 0.02, P = 0.82). The modified Glasgow prognostic score was associated with SMI loss (odds ratio: 2.42, 95% confidence interval: 1.03-5.69; P = 0.04). The median time to disease recurrence was significantly shorter in patients with SMI loss >= 5% after treatment than in those with SMI loss
