Sarcopenia and dosimetric parameters in relation to treatment-related leukopenia and survival in anal cancer

Abstract Background Treatment-related white blood cell (WBC) toxicity has been associated with an inferior prognosis in different malignancies, including anal cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate predictors of WBC grade ≥ 3 (G3+) toxicity during chemoradiotherapy (CRT) of anal can...
