Study Description
Brief Summary: In this study, the investigators aim to demonstration of relationship between triceps skinfold thickness and overall survival of pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and GB cancer.
Detailed Description: Cachexia is frequently seen in pancreatic cancer(70-80%) and associated with reduced survival, reduced treatment tolerance and reduction in QoL. In recent studies, low-normal BMI have worse outcome (overall mortality) in cardiovascular, malignant, chronic disease (So called "obesity paradox") BMI is simple method but hard to define body composition because BMI is based on only weight and height. Skinfold thickness is strongly associated with body fatness than BMI. In this study, the ivestigators aim to demonstration of relationship between triceps skinfold thickness and overall survival of pancreatic cancer, cholangiocarcinoma and GB cancer.
