Abstract
Abstract Purpose We propose and validate the hypothesis initially put forward by us: the skeletal muscle index (SMI) can serve as an evaluative indicator for pre-rehabilitation efficacy during neoadjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer. Methods The feasibility of using SMI to evaluate the efficacy of pre-rehabilitation was demonstrated through a case study involving an elderly patient with advanced gastric cancer and multiple comorbid chronic conditions. Results The patient demonstrated a significant improvement in SMI following the prehabilitation intervention, with an increase of 4 cm²/m². No myelosuppression occurred during neoadjuvant therapy, and postoperative recovery was uneventful. Conclusions SMI can serve as an evaluative indicator for pre-rehabilitation assessment during neoadjuvant therapy in gastric cancer patients. Furthermore, SMI has the potential to be promoted as a standardized assessment tool for other patient populations undergoing chemotherapy and for individuals with chronic conditions associated with sarcopenia. Mobilizing the subjective initiative of patients is a critical component of preoperative rehabilitation.
