Justin C. Brown,Jeffrey A. Meyerhardt,Elizabeth M. Cespedes Feliciano,En Cheng,Bette J. Caan +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that the quantity and distribution of abdominal adipose tissue predict premature chemotherapy discontinuation, defined as receiving <6 cycles of 5fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX) chemotherapy.

TL;DR: Assessment of muscle quantity and quality on CT can provide an objective measure of patient frailty that would not otherwise be clinically apparent and that may complement existing risk stratification tools to identify patients at high risk of mortality, morbidity, and readmission.
