2 Fig. 1 Distribution of the percentage changes in skeletal and adipose tissue per 100 days for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer (n=41). SKM=skeletal muscle; VAT=visceral adipose tissue; SCAT=subcutaneous adipose tissue; BMI=body mass index.

3 Fig. 2 Kaplan-Meier survival curves according to the median percentage losses in a) SKM (≤ or >4%), b) VAT (≤ or >13%), c) SCAT (≤ or >11%), and d) BMI category (BMI < or ≥30). SKM=skeletal muscle; VAT=visceral adipose tissue; SCAT=subcutaneous adipose tissue; BMI=body mass index.
