Sarcopenia and preserved bone mineral density in paediatric survivors of high‐risk neuroblastoma with growth failure

Abstract Background Survival from paediatric high‐risk neuroblastoma (HR‐NBL) has increased, but cis‐retinoic acid (cis‐RA), the cornerstone of HR‐NBL therapy, can cause osteoporosis and premature physeal closure and is a potential threat to skeletal structure in HR‐NBL survivors. Sarcopenia is asso...
