Results  After neoadjuvant chemotherapy,the body weight,intracellular fluid,body mass index,protein,body fat,body cell mass,and arm circumference mildly decreased;extracellular fluid,body water content,inorganic salts,bone mineral content,non-fat group,skeletal muscle,and arm muscle circumference mildly increased,but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). The blood albumin,prealbumin,total protein,transferrin,and lymphocytes decreased at different degrees down,but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05).
