Body composition measurement using diagnostic computed tomography (CT) scans has
emerged as a method to assess sarcopenia (low muscle mass) in oncology patients …

The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational
studies to estimate the overall prevalence and prognostic value of sarcopenic obesity (SO) …

Growing evidence suggests that changes in muscle mass and function may further
contribute to health risk assessment in individuals who are obese. As numbers for both …

Purpose The purpose of this article is to provide an up-to-date summary of sarcopenia and
its clinical implications for patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Methods We …

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection identified as a definitive human carcinogen is
increasingly being recognized for its role in carcinogenesis of human cancers. Up to 38 …

SMM measurement at the level of the third cervical vertebra (C3) on routine computed
tomography and magnetic resonance imaging is easy and robust to perform. Several studies …

Background Low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is associated with adverse outcomes. SMM is
often assessed at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) on abdominal imaging. Abdominal imaging …

Simple Summary Radiation therapy (RT) is a key treatment for head and neck squamous
cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. RT generates acute toxicity and weight loss, especially …

Objective To determine if sarcopenia is a predictor of blood transfusion requirements in
head and neck cancer free flap reconstruction (HNCFFR). Methods A single‐institution …

Objective To determine the role of skeletal muscle index (SMI) in the assessment of frailty
