Role of muscle glucometabolism derived from 18F-FDG PET/CT in sarcopenia of elderly patients with newly diagnosed malignancies
Regardless of sex, SUVmax of muscle can independently predict sarcopenia in elderly patients with newly diagnosed malignancies. As an alternative to complex SMI measurements, a nomogram model incorporating SUVmax of muscle can effectively predict the likelihood of sarcopenia.
