Zusammenfassung: | •Serum creatinine-cystatin C ratio is strongly correlated with computed tomography-measured muscle mass•This association was observed in all age groups of children and adolescents•This ratio may be a useful surrogate marker for muscle mass in cancer care
There is limited knowledge about muscle-mass loss in childhood and adolescent patients with cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between muscle mass evaluated by computed tomography (CT) and the serum creatinine-cystatin C ratio (CCR) in children and adolescents with cancer.
