          Abstract

          Cachexia has been shown to be related to mortality in patients with advanced cancers and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Smokers receiving surgery for lung cancer are thought to be at risk of developing cachexia postoperatively. We aimed to investigate whether 2 surrogate variables for cachexia, body mass index (BMI) and C-reactive protein (CRP) level, are predictive of mortality in smokers after complete resection of non-small-cell lung cancer.
