Cancer treatment may impair nutritional status, alter body composition, and exacerbate cancer\u2010related fatigue (CRF).

Fatigue was consistently associated with PhA and lean mass\u2010related indicators, suggesting that body composition and cellular integrity may be associated with fatigue severity during treatment. PhA emerged as a particularly promising noninvasive marker, independently associated with fatigue over time. These findings support the incorporation of PhA and comprehensive nutritional assessment beyond conventional weight\u2010 and height\u2010based measures to improve the early identification of patients at risk.<\/jats:p>\n
