Sarcopenia is an independent prognostic indicator for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our objective was to determine the effect of sarcopenia on response to systemic targeted therapy in patients with advanced HCC.

Skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated from erector spinae muscle area (SMA) at the level of T12
