Background
The cross‐sectional area (CSA) of skeletal muscle (SM) at the third lumbar vertebra (L3) is used to determine computed tomography (CT)‐defined sarcopenia. We investigated the feasibility of SM assessment at the second thoracic vertebra (T2) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC).
Methods
Diagnostic PET‐CT scans were used to develop a prediction model for L3‐CSA using T2‐CSA. Effectiveness...
Background
Body composition may influence the prognosis of head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. To find out the most crucial factors in this relationship, we explored the association between body composition and survival.
Methods
In this prospective longitudinal study, HNC patients who underwent radiotherapy (RT) from March 2017 to December 2018 were recruited. The association between body composition...
