Cervical body composition on radiotherapy planning computed tomography scans predicts overall survival in glioblastoma patients

Cervical body composition on radiotherapy planning computed tomography scans predicts overall survival in glioblastoma patients

Background and purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) patients face a strongly unfavorable prognosis despite multimodal therapy regimens. However, individualized mortality prediction remains imprecise. Harnessing routine radiation planning cranial computed tomography (CT) scans, we assessed cervical body compo...
