Comparing A‐mode ultrasound and computed tomography for assessing cancer‐related sarcopenia: A cross‐sectional study
A-mode US has the potential to be a feasible tool for diagnosing sarcopenia in clinical practice at the bedside for patients with cancer despite the need for further improvements in the tool's accuracy. Our main findings suggest that combining measurements of BMT and TMT may enhance its clinical significance in diagnosing sarcopenia.
