Abstract:e18648 Background: Cancer-related malnutrition and cachexia can lead to body composition changes. BCM can be assessed at the third lumbar (L3) vertebra by CT, which is available as part of pre-trial evaluation. We previously found that malnutrition and low psoas muscle area (PMA) are associated with adverse P1 outcomes including higher rates of ≥ Grade 3 toxicity (G3T). Here we evaluate the relationships between comprehensive cross-sectional muscle and adipose tissue BCM at L3 on P1 outcomes. Methods: Baselin… Show more
