Malnutrition and sarcopenia are challenges for patients with metastatic breast cancer and have been proposed as independent prognostic factors. Very few studies have addressed the temporal evolution of these parameters and, notably, the separate and combined analysis of sarcopenia and malnutrition. This study aimed to i) determine the prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia, individually and combined, and their evolution over time, ii) identify risk factors for each condition, and iii) explore their impact on overall survival (OS).
