MRI-Determined Psoas Muscle Fat Infiltration Correlates with Severity of Weight Loss during Cancer Cachexia

SIMPLE SUMMARY: During cancer cachexia, patients experience profound weight loss due to metabolic dysfunction, resulting in muscle composition alterations. The proton density fat fraction (PDFF) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an established biomarker to assess changes of muscle compositio...
