The value of gender -specific baseline CT body composition quantitative parameters in assessing the efficacy of R-CHOP chemotherapy in DLBCL.

Key Points

• To assess how gender-specific body composition parameters influence the effectiveness of R-CHOP chemotherapy in DLBCL patients.
• Analyzed changes in VAT and SAT volumes in male patients
• Evaluated SM volume impact on female patients
• Compared body composition metrics against treatment outcomes
• Increased VAT volume and SAT volume density correlate with poorer chemotherapy efficacy in males.
• In females, higher SM volume is associated with worse outcomes from R-CHOP chemotherapy.
