Few studies measure body composition in patients with lung cancer over time; 32 to be exact. I reviewed their findings. Pro: we know muscle loss occurs and intramuscular fat increases. Cons: we know very little about women and changes in fat journals.physiology.org/doi/abs/10.115…

Are you interested in research? Join us! @UVMLarnerMed @UVMMedCenter @uvmvermont @uvmcnhs @UVMcancercenter @UVM_Libraries
Excited to share our updated preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… New: we show using CT scan body composition data from the National Lung Screening trial that patients diagnosed with lung cancer experience body composition changes prior to diagnosis.
