Article Synopsis
- Low muscle mass (LMM) and low muscle density (LMD) are linked to poorer survival outcomes in DLBCL (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) patients.
- A study measured muscle parameters in 164 DLBCL patients before treatment, finding that a significant number had both LMM and LMD, correlating with reduced overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
- Patients with both conditions often couldn't complete their treatment plan, indicating that LMM and LMD could be crucial indicators for tailoring chemo-immunotherapy.

This report describes a rare vascular complication of surgical placement of a marking clip and a possible approach to problem solving. A 55-year-old patient presented with loss of sensation in the fingers and loss of peripheral pulsations in the right arm 4 days after right upper lobectomy for a pT2N1 moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the lung. Duplex examination and computed tomography were performed the same day and showed a subtotal stenosis of the right subclavian artery, which was caused by the surgical placement of a metal clip to mark the surgical boundary.
