Featured paper: Quantification of chemotherapy-induced changes in body composition in pediatric, adolescent, and young adult lymphoma using standard of care CT imaging
Can BMI really tell us what’s happening inside young cancer patients during treatment? In this episode, we uncover new research showing how chemotherapy causes hidden shifts in muscle and fat that BMI can’t detect. Learn how routine CT scans reveal the real story behind body composition changes in pediatric and adolescent lymphoma patients—and why this matters for better, more personalized care. Join us as we explore the science, the surprises, and the future of monitoring health during cancer treatment.*Disclaimer: This content was generated by NotebookLM and has been reviewed for accuracy by Dr. Tram.*
