Skeletal muscle mass loss and dose‐limiting toxicities in metastatic colorectal cancer patients

Skeletal muscle mass loss and dose‐limiting toxicities in metastatic colorectal cancer patients

Abstract Background Increasing evidence suggests that severe skeletal muscle index (SMI) loss (sarcopenia) is associated with poor overall survival in metastatic colorectal cancer patients, but its mechanisms are unknown. We recently found, using data of the randomized phase 3 CAIRO3 study, that SMI...
