Low skeletal muscle mass predicts frailty in elderly head and neck cancer patients
PURPOSE: Treatment of head and neck cancer (HNC) carries a high risk of adverse outcomes in patients, especially in frail elderly. Therefore, it is important to identify patients in which treatment benefits outweigh the risk of any adverse outcome. Although the comprehensive geriatric assessment (CG...
