First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This completed study looked at 120 women with early-stage breast cancer to see if having low muscle mass (sarcopenia) before treatment makes them more likely to develop nerve damage from the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. Researchers measured muscle mass on CT scans and checked for nerve symptoms using questionnaires and nerve tests. The goal is to help doctors identify high-risk patients early and possibly adjust treatment to prevent long-term nerve problems.
