Paradoxical relationship between body mass index and bone mineral density in patients with non-small cell lung cancer with brain metastasis.

Brain metastasis may possibly be associated with lower BMI and higher BMD in NSCLC patients. We expect that these results may facilitate future predictions of brain metastases during the clinical course of NSCLC and enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that link brain metastases and lung cancer.
