Thoracic skeletal muscle index is effective for CT-defined sarcopenia evaluation in patients with head and neck cancer
PURPOSE: Computed tomography (CT)-defined sarcopenia, as a measurement of low skeletal muscle (SM), is a poor prognostic indicator in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), independent of weight or nutritional status. We used SM measures at the second thoracic vertebra (T2) to determine T2-SM ind...
