Abstract:Sarcopenia is a prognostic factor in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the mechanism underlying sarcopenia development in patients with HCC remains unclear. The chemokine interferon-gamma-induced protein 10/C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 10 (IP-10/CXCL10) has emerged as one of the mechanisms in previous studies. Therefore, we aimed to elucidate the significance of sarcopenia, and investigate the association between serum IP-10/CXCL10 levels and sarcopenia development. This retrospective stud… Show more
