The changes in body composition are early adverse effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT); however, their prognostic impact remains unclear in prostate cancer. This study aimed to evaluate the association between body composition changes and survival in patients with high-risk prostate cancer. We measured the skeletal muscle index (SMI) and total adipose tissue index (TATI) at the L3 vertebral level using computed tomography at baseline and within one year after initiating ADT in 125 patients with high-risk prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy and ADT between 2008 and 2018. Non-cancer mortality predictors were identified using Cox regression models. The median follow-up was 49 months. Patients experienced an average SMI loss of 5.5% over 180 days (95% confidence interval: -7.0 to -4.0; p |
