Denutrition and Obesity are risk factors for perioperative surgical complications. In patient with cancer, incidence of denutrition is markedly increased. Surgical resection of cancer induces a high intensity cellular stress response and catabolism reinforcing the risk for perioperative denutrition. In this study, we thought to investigate the change in body composition during the perioperative period using anthropometric measurements and Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA).
Body composition measurements will be performed before surgical procedure (7 days) and at day 1, day 5, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after surgery. Others data will be recorded including anthropometric measurements, nutritional intake, occurence of surgical complication, type of surgical procedure, type and stage of cancer, and CT-scan measurements of subcutaneous abdominal fat, visceral fat and peri-renal fat before surgery and at 6 months.

body composition
The primary objective is to study the change in body composition (fat mass, lean body mass, muscular mass, mineral mass, total body water, intra and extracellular water) during the perioperative period with respect to short, mid and long term outcome.
Time frame: 1 month
perioperative complications
One of the secondary objective is to investigate the relationship between baseline body composition and the occurrence of surgical complications.
Time frame: 6 months
