Abstract:Purpose
Sarcopenia may complicate treatment in cancer patients. Herein, we assessed whether sarcopenia measurements derived from radiation planning computed tomography (CT) were associated with complications and tumor progression during radiochemotherapy for glioblastoma.
Methods
Consecutive patients undergoing radiotherapy planning for glioblastoma between 2010 and 2021 were analyzed. Retrocervical muscle cross-sectional area (CSA) was measured via thresh… Show more
