Prognostic impact of MRI-based cervical skeletal muscle mass on survival in parotid gland carcinoma
MRI-derived C3SMI is an independent prognostic biomarker for survival and recurrence in PGC and correlates with pathological aggressiveness. Because C3SMI can be obtained from standard preoperative cervical MRI without additional imaging or radiation exposure, it may provide a practical tool for preoperative risk stratification and treatment planning in patients with PGC.
