Summary

This study looks at whether a simple ultrasound of the thigh muscle can detect muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people who have finished cancer treatment. About 55 adults aged 18-74 with certain cancers will have an ultrasound and a standard body scan (DEXA) to compare results. The goal is to find an easier, cheaper way to identify muscle problems early and help survivors get the right support.
