Sarcopenia is associated with chemoradiotherapy discontinuation and reduced progression-free survival in glioblastoma patients

ConclusionSarcopenia is a  strong risk factor for treatment discontinuation and reduced progression-free survival in glioblastoma patients. We propose that sarcopenic patients should receive intensified supportive care during radiotherapy and during follow-up as well as expedited access to palliative care.
