Indications of myosteatosis (that is, the accumulation of fat in skeletal muscles) on preoperative chest CT imaging are linked with worse survival after surgery in patients with stage 0 to IIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), researchers have reported. And this result was independent of individuals' skeletal muscle index and subcutaneous adipose tissue, wrote a team led by Lea Mantz, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. The group's findings were published February 11 in Radiology.
