Muscle loss check in lung cancer surgery patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people with lung cancer who are about to have surgery. It uses a CT or MRI scan to check your muscle health, which may help doctors better plan your care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove lung cancer.
- You have had a CT or MRI scan within the last week.
- You are able to follow instructions during the exam.
- You do not have an amputated arm or leg.
- You do not have severe leg swelling (above the knee).
- You do not have a pacemaker or other condition that would prevent you from completing the study.

This study uses an ultrasound (a painless scan) to check for sarcopenia—age-related muscle loss. It may be a good fit if you're over 50 and have noticed trouble with walking, climbing, or recent falls or weight loss.
This study looks at how nutrition and muscle health before lung cancer surgery can affect recovery. It tests whether checking these factors can help predict and improve outcomes after surgery.
This study is looking at a simple blood test to see if it can help understand muscle loss in people with chronic lung disease. The goal is to find better ways to support muscle health.
This study looks at how loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) affects the course of illness in people with gastrointestinal cancers, liver cirrhosis, or those in the ICU. It will help doctors better understand and treat muscle wasting.
This study tests a new clinic designed to help people with COPD who have lost muscle mass (sarcopenia). By using a CT scan done during your hospital stay, doctors can identify muscle loss and offer treatments to help you regain strength and function.
This study uses ultrasound to measure leg muscle mass before surgery for gynecologic cancers, to see if it can predict how long you'll need to stay in the hospital after the operation.
