Muscle quality during cancer treatment and associations with health-related quality of life
Muscle quality worsened over 24-months and trended toward worse physical function at 24-months follow-up. From initial declines during treatment, participants reported recovered HRQoL by 24-months. Further work in a larger cohort is needed to confirm associations with muscle quality and physical function.
