A recent study reported that routinely screening for sarcopenia and nutritional status was helpful in determining toxicity and treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Although a decrease in muscle mass was detected in 68.8% of the participants, it is not evident what proportion the patients had true sarcopenia. Clarification of these issues may be relevant to the study results.
最近一项研究报告称,对肌肉减少症和营养状况进行常规筛查有助于确定非小细胞肺癌患者的毒性和治疗方案。虽然在68.8%的参与者中检测到肌肉量减少,但尚不清楚患者中真正患有肌肉减少症的比例是多少。澄清这些问题可能与研究结果相关。
