Muscle and fat matter: Automated CT-based body composition analysis predicts survival in Hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing radioembolization
These findings suggest that fully automated, CT-based measurement of BCA parameters - particularly the SM/B ratio - can serve as an independent prognostic factor for survival and disease control in patients with <i>Hepatocellular carcinoma</i> (HCC) undergoing radioembolization. This could potentially facilitate the identification of patients who would benefit most from this treatment.
