Synergic prognostic value of 3D CT scan subcutaneous fat and muscle masses for immunotherapy-treated cancer by Caroline Robert, Aurélien Marabelle, Fabrice Barlesi, Samy Ammari, David Planchard, Siham Farhane, Paul-Henry Cournède, Pierre Decazes, Younes Belkouchi, Léo Mottay, Littisha Lawrance, Antoine de Prévia, Hugues Talbot, Florian Guisier, Tony Ibrahim, Pierre Vera, Nathalie Lassau

“…For NSCLC, a KM analysis combining SFM and MBM was able to separate the population in three categories with the worse prognostic for the patients with both low SFM (<5.22 kg/m2) and MBM (<6.86 kg/m2) (p<0001). On the external validation cohort, combination of low SFM and low MBM was pejorative with 63% of mortality at 1 year versus 25% (p=0.0029).Conclusions 3D measured low SFM and MBM are significant prognosis factors of NSCLC treated by immune checkpoint inhibitors and can be combined to improve the prognostic value.…”
