The Association of Body Composition Parameters Measured by Computed Tomography with Cancer Stage, Prognosis, and Survival in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Seray Gizem Gur OzcanDeniz BaraliAnil ErkanPublished in: Current medical imaging (2024)
The relationship between body composition parameters measured by computed tomography, which can be easily evaluated pre-treatment, and mortality, postoperative recovery and length of hospital stay can be evaluated, giving clinicians an idea about the potential difficulties that patients may encounter during the treatment process. For this purpose, the subcutaneous adipose tissue / skeletal muscle area ratio is the most helpful parameter that can be used.</P>.
