ABSTRACT
Studies regarding the influence of body composition parameters as predictors on overall survival (OS) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are scarce. OS and progression-free survival (PFS) were retrospectively assessed in 129 patients with MM undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) after a follow-up of 2 years. A computed tomography (CT) based semi-automated assessment of body composition was performed. No statistically significant differences were noted in 2-year OS, PFS, or post-transplant adverse events in the body composition groups of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) (low vs. high-SAT), visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (low vs. high-VAT), visceral-to-subcutaneous fat ratio (VSR) (low vs. high VSR), and sarcopenia in terms of skeletal muscle index (SMI) (non-sarcopenic vs. sarcopenic). In conclusion, adipose and muscle tissue do not limit OS or affect the PFS in patients with MM undergoing ASCT.
