Low muscle mass is associated with chemotherapy-induced haematological toxicity in advanced non-small cell lung cancer. Issue 1 (October 2015) - Sjøblom, Bjørg
Highlights Body surface area (BSA) does not reflect differences in body compostion. Dose estimation by BSA gave large variations in dose per kg lean body mass (LBM). Higher dose/ kg LBM was a significant predictor of severe haematological toxicity. Taking LBM into account in dose estimation might help reduce chemotherapy toxicity.
