Prognostic value of early changes in CT-measured body composition in patients receiving chemotherapy for unresectable pancreatic cancer
European radiology
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with a lower rate of skeletal muscle loss at first follow-up demonstrated improved survival for unresectable PDAC, regardless of their RECISTv1.1-category. Assessing ΔSMI at the first follow-up CT may be useful for prognostication, in addition to routine radiological assessment.
