Scientists investigate hidden muscle loss in cancer treatment
NCT ID NCT02567669
Summary
This study aims to understand whether breast cancer patients lose muscle outside the radiation treatment area during radiotherapy, and if that muscle loss is connected to their fatigue. Researchers will follow 20 women with non-metastatic breast cancer, measuring their muscle via CT scans and asking about their fatigue levels before, during, and after their standard radiation treatment. The goal is to gather knowledge about these side effects to potentially improve future patient care.
