Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Emerging evidence suggests that diminished skeletal muscle mass is associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in individuals with cancer. There are no studies that we know of in the literature that use ultrasound system to evaluate muscle mass and its relationship with HRQOL.
