Figure 1 Practical stepwise algorithm for screening and multimodal intervention based on baseline body mass index in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma receiving chemoradiotherapy. The pathway emphasizes early nutritional support and resistance exercise to mitigate sarcopenia and improve treatment outcomes. BMI: Body mass index; ESCC: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma; LMM: Low muscle mass; PEG: Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy; NG tube: Nasogastric tube.
