Total body water (TBW) fraction, which accounts for 60% of weight, is an important indicator composition, and the extracellular to TBW ratio (ECW/TBW) reportedly useful in predicting clinical outcomes patients with organ disorders. We aimed clarify impact preoperative ECW/TBW status on survival cancer patients.
