Reliable Radiologic Skeletal Muscle Area Assessment - A Biomarker for Cancer Cachexia Diagnosis

2025-04-25

Abstract excerpt

Cancer cachexia is a common metabolic disorder characterized by severe muscle atrophy which is associated with poor prognosis and quality of life. Monitoring skeletal muscle area (SMA) longitudinally through computed tomography (CT) scans, an imaging modality routinely acquired in cancer care, is an effective way to identify and track this condition.
