    • A comparison of CT based measures of skeletal muscle mass and density from the Th4 and L3 levels in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer 

      Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Baracos, Vickie Elaine; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Bremnes, Roy M.; Fløtten, Øystein; Bye, Asta; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-09-25)
      Background:<br> Muscle mass and density assessed from CT-images at the L3 level are prognostic for survival and predict toxicity in cancer patients. However, L3 is not always included on routine CT-scans. We aimed to investigate whether images at the Th4 level may be used instead. <br> Methods:<br> Patients from three chemotherapy trials in advanced NSCLC were eligible (n = 1305). Skeletal muscle ...

    • Muscle mass and association to quality of life in non-small cell lung cancer patients 

      Bye, Asta; Sjøblom, Bjørg; Wentzel-Larsen, Tore; Grønberg, Bjørn Henning; Baracos, Vickie E.; Hjermstad, Marianne Jensen; Aass, Nina Kathrine; Bremnes, Roy M.; Fløtten, Øystein; Jordhøy, Marit Slaaen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-10)
      Background<br> Cancer wasting is characterized by muscle loss and may contribute to fatigue and poor quality of life (QoL). Our aim was to investigate associations between skeletal muscle index (SMI) and skeletal muscle radiodensity (SMD) and selected QoL outcomes in advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at diagnosis.<p> Methods<br> Baseline data from patients with stage IIIB/IV NSCLC and ...
