Article Synopsis
- Sarcopenia, linked to poor outcomes in solid cancers, is measured by temporalis muscle thickness (TMT), and this study examines TMT's relationship with outcomes in patients with malignant brain tumors.
- The research analyzed 17 studies with 4430 patients, finding that thicker TMT is generally associated with better overall survival and progression-free survival in conditions like glioblastoma, brain metastases, and primary CNS lymphoma.
- The findings suggest TMT can serve as an important prognostic tool, aiding clinicians and patients in making informed treatment decisions.
