Single‐institution study of correlations between skeletal muscle mass, its density, and clinical outcomes in non‐small cell lung cancer patients treated with first‐line chemotherapy

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia and muscle tissue degradation are hallmarks of the majority of chronic diseases, including non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A computed tomography scan could be an easy modality to estimate the skeletal muscle mass through cross‐sectional image analysis at the level of the t...
