Background The evidence that body composition parameters influence multiple cancer
outcomes is rapidly expanding. Excess adiposity deposits in muscle tissue, termed …

Background The loss of muscle mass, known as sarcopenia, is a natural process of aging
that is associated with adverse health outcomes regardless of age. Because cancer is a …

Rationale and Objectives To assess whether a fully-automated deep learning system can
accurately detect and analyze truncal musculature at multiple lumbar vertebral levels and …

Importance Progressive loss of muscle mass and strength, known as sarcopenia, is a well-
known phenomenon of aging; however, little is known about the trajectory of sarcopenia …

Background Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of muscle mass combined with loss of muscle
strength, with or without loss of muscle performance. The use of this parameter as a risk …

Background/Aim: Skeletal muscle mass loss is an emerging concern in oncology. Our
systematic review and meta-analysis identified the mean difference in skeletal muscle index …

Purpose The aim of this study was to elucidate the clinical impact of skeletal muscle area
(SMA) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with anti-programmed …

Objective Loss of muscle mass is associated with worse outcomes in patients with cancer.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of calf circumference (CC) …

Objectives Low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and sarcopenic obesity (co-presence of low
SMM and obesity) are emerging prognosticators in oncology, but the prevalence and …

Malnutrition and cachexia affects the majority of cancer patients and significantly worsens
their quality of life and prognosis. However, the diagnostic criteria of malnutrition and …
