Predictive value of skeletal muscle mass for immunotherapy with nivolumab in non‐small cell lung cancer patients: A “hypothesis‐generator” preliminary report

Predictive value of skeletal muscle mass for immunotherapy with nivolumab in non‐small cell lung cancer patients: A “hypothesis‐generator” preliminary report

Sarcopenia represents one of the hallmarks of all chronic disease, including non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
