Description
Andrés Jiménez-Sánchez and co-authors check whether bedside tools can replace CT scans for measuring muscle in cancer patients, in a 2024 study. Muscle amount and quality predict outcomes in colorectal cancer, but the gold standard, CT at the third lumbar level, is not always handy. Simpler options are body impedance analysis and nutritional ultrasound.
On a single day, 156 outpatients received all three measurements plus strength tests. The team compared many formulas for turning raw signals into muscle mass, and several cut-offs for wasting and fatty muscle. Agreement was poor even within one technique across its own formulas, and worse between techniques. No bedside method could stand in for CT. One impedance formula performed least badly. The authors warn that muscle diagnoses in clinic depend heavily on which tool and equation happen to be used.
