Body composition changes in obesity-related cancers: a study
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how body composition (like fat and muscle) changes in people with obesity-related cancers and how that affects their health outcomes. Researchers want to track these changes from the time of diagnosis through treatment.
