By contrast, cachexia is defined as a syndrome characterized by weight loss with the concomitant loss of muscle and\/or fat mass. Cancer cachexia leads to functional impairment, reduced physical performance, and decreased survival, and is often accompanied by cancer progression and reduced response to therapy. The literature states that cancer patients with cachexia or sarcopenia have many more complications than patients without these conditions. The interplay between physiologic sarcopenia and cancer cachexia is, in part, responsible for the complexity of studying wasting disorders in the cancer population, particularly in the geriatric population. For these reasons, a comprehensive assessment of the body composition and physical function of these patients is necessary. There are several modalities adapted to measure skeletal muscle mass, such as dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound (US). The gold standard for the measurement of quantitative and qualitative changes in body composition in patients with cancer is the analysis of tissue density using a CT scan. However, this technique remains poorly implemented in clinical practice because of the use of ionizing radiation. Similarly, DEXA, MRI, and US have been proposed, but their use is limited. In this review, we present and compare the imaging techniques that have been developed so far for the nutritional assessment of cancer patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm14030243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,26]],"date-time":"2024-02-26T06:50:23Z","timestamp":1708930223000},"page":"243","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Quantitative and Qualitative Radiological Assessment of Sarcopenia and Cachexia in Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Sveva","family":"Mortellaro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate School in Radiodiagnostics, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sonia","family":"Triggiani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Postgraduate School in Radiodiagnostics, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federica","family":"Mascaretti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Prevention and Diagnosis of Celiac Disease, Gastroenterology and Endoscopy Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Ca\u2019 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Micol","family":"Galloni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cryovis s.r.l, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7359-5410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ornella","family":"Garrone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncology Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Ca\u2019 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gianpaolo","family":"Carrafiello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Operative Unit of Radiology, Fondazione IRCCS Ca\u2019 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, 20122 Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Department of Oncology and Emato-Oncology, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5435-1218","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Michele","family":"Ghidini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncology Unit, Fondazione IRCCS Ca\u2019 Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, 20122 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Meza-Valderrama, D., Marco, E., Davalos-Yerovi, V., Muns, M.D., Tejero-Sanchez, M., Duarte, E., and Sanchez-Rodriguez, D.
