Feasibility of Using Masticatory Muscles to Assess Skeletal Muscle Mass in Patients with Oral Cavity Cancer

2019-08-03

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background Sarcopenia is typically assessed using abdominal computed tomography (CT) scans, which are not obtained routinely in patients with oral cavity cancer. In order to investigate the feasibility of using masticatory muscles to assess general skeletal muscle mass (SMM) in oral cancer patients, we aimed to correlate the masticatory SMM evaluated on head and neck CT-images with the...
