Screening for low muscularity in colorectal cancer patients: a valid, clinic‐friendly approach that predicts mortality
Abstract Background Low skeletal muscle quantified using computed tomography (CT) scans is associated with morbidity and mortality among cancer patients. However, existing methods to assess skeletal muscle from CT are time‐consuming, expensive, and require training. Clinic‐friendly tools to screen f...
