Body composition analysis using computed tomography image in patients with advanced lung cancer

Background: Despite the importance of muscle wasting in lung cancer, body composition in this disease has been mostly assessed using methods that do not allow differentiation between muscle and other tissues. null Aim: To compare body composition of patients with lung cancer (1-year survivors versus 1-year non-survivors) using computed tomography (CT scan) image analysis at diagnosis and at the end of follow-up (at 1 year or at death). null...
