Skeletal Muscle Depletion and Major Postoperative Complications in Locally-Advanced Head and Neck Cancer: A Comparison between Ultrasound of Rectus Femoris Muscle and Neck Cross-Sectional Imaging

Skeletal Muscle Depletion and Major Postoperative Complications in Locally-Advanced Head and Neck Cancer: A Comparison between Ultrasound of Rectus Femoris Muscle and Neck Cross-Sectional Imaging

Skeletal muscle mass (SMM) depletion has been validated in many surgical fields as independent predictor of complications through cross-sectional imaging. We evaluated SMM depletion in a stage III-IV head and neck cancer cohort, comparing the accuracy of CT/MRI at C3 level with ultrasound (US) of re...
