What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Loss of skeletal muscle, is one of the most prevalent symptoms of malnutrition, and has been frequently reported as a negative factor in cancer patients at any disease stage. In this study, we are planning to firstly analyze the radiomics features of psoas extracted at the level of the third lumbar vertebra (L3) and then, develop a CT-based radiomics nomogram prediction model for predicting malnutrition based on their Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) scores in patients with International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO, 2014 version) stage IB1-IIA2 cervical cancer (CC) who received postoperative radiotherapy/chemoradiotherapy (RT/CRT).
