#3849 Is patient's BMI representative of their body composition in neuroendocrine tumors?

Introduction: Up to 60% of patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are malnourished. This negatively impacts survival, length of hospital stay, risk of complications, treatment response, fatigue and quality of life. Malnutrition is typically defined by body mass index (BMI) or weight loss, which provides no information on body composition. Research in other cancers has shown sarcopenia is more significant than BMI. Information is lacking on the influence of anthropometric parameters in NETs.
