Beyond body surface area: CT-derived body composition as a predictor of chemotherapy toxicity and survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: a systematic review.

BACKGROUND

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterised by a high prevalence of severe muscle wasting (sarcopenia) and fatty muscle infiltration (myosteatosis), yet chemotherapy dosing still relies on body surface area (BSA), a metric that does not reflect individual patients' lean body...

Impact of sarcopenia and changes in skeletal muscle mass on prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma receiving chemotherapy with first-line gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel: a prospective study.

Sarcopenia is an important prognostic factor for cancer patients. Here, we prospectively examined the effects of sarcopenia on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) treated with first-line gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel (GnP). This...

A fluorescent aptasensor for deoxynivalenol detection based on Nb.BbvCI-assisted targeted-responsive three-way junctions integrated DNA walking machine.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination in cereals is a widespread issue with global implications, necessitating the development of efficient detection methods. Here, a fluorescent aptasensor integrating target-responsive DNA three-way junction (TWJ) and DNA walking machine was developed to detect DON. The DON-specific...
