Observational analysis revealed muscle thickness predicts mortality in cancer patients, suggesting early risk identification.

Increased muscle thickness from A-mode ultrasound reduces the risk of 30-day mortality in cancer patients.
Each millimeter increase in biceps muscle thickness reduces 30-day mortality risk by 9%, indicating significant predictive capability.
Assessment utilized biceps and thigh measurements, highlighting the focused relevance of biceps in prognosis.
BMT's significant predictive value emphasizes its potential role in guiding timely clinical interventions.
