Several studies have examined the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, which is a screening tool for nutritional status and an effective biomarker for patient survival after cancer treatment. However, its role in soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) remains unknown. Because of the lack of predictive markers for survival in patients with STS, we aimed to determine the CONUT score's association with survival.
