Abstract

PURPOSE: Muscle radiodensity loss after surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy is associated with poor outcomes in ovarian cancer. Assessing muscle radiodensity is a real-world clinical challenge owing to the requirement for computed tomography (CT) with consistent protocols and labor-intensive processes. This study aimed to use interpretable machine learning (ML) to predict muscle radiodensity loss.
