- Researchers studied the impact of muscle and fat loss on mortality in pancreatic cancer patients using CT scans.
- They found that reduced skeletal muscle area in men and changes in visceral fat levels could predict mortality, while muscle loss in women showed different survival patterns.
- The study highlights the importance of accurately measuring body composition changes during treatment, as it can significantly influence survival outcomes, particularly in men.
