Myosteatosis may influence survival of patients with #lung #cancer in many ways.
Do ⬆️ myosteatosis markers on chest CT before early-stage #NSCLC resection predict worse survival?

Cardiopulmonary evaluation is used to stratify the pre-op risk of NSCLC patients but is an imperfect estimator of long-term survival
💡Data on association of muscle mass w/ survival in NSCLC are inconclusive, & muscle quality may be a better estimator
