Abstract:BackgroundThe prognostic significance of non‐cancer‐related prognostic factors, such as body composition, has gained extensive attention in oncological research. Compared with sarcopenia, the prognostic significance of adipose tissue for overall survival in non‐small cell lung cancer remains unclear. We investigated the prognostic value of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue in patients with non‐small cell lung cancer.MethodsThis retrospective study included 4434 patients diagnosed with non‐small cell lung canc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
