Objectives: To assess body composition in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and colorectal cancer using whole body MRI and relate this to clinical outcomes. Methods: 53 patients with NSCLC (28 males, 25 females; mean age 66.9) and 74 patients with colorectal cancer (42 males, 32 females; mean age 62.9) underwent staging whole-body MRI scans which were post-processed to derive fat mass (FM), fat free mass (FFM) and skeletal muscle (SM) indices and SM fat fraction (FF). These were compared between the two cancer cohorts using two-sided t-tests and the chi-squared test. Measurements of body composition were correlated with outcomes including length of hospital stay, metastatic status and mortality. Results: Patients with NSCLC had significantly lower FFM (p = 0.0071) and SM (p = 0.0084) indices. Mean SM FF was greater in patients with NSCLC (p = 0.0124) and was associated with longer hospital stay (p = 0.035). There was no significant relationship between FM, FFM and SM indices and length of hospital stay, metastatic status or mortality. Conclusions: Patients with NSCLC had lower FFM and SM indices than patients with colorectal cancer and greater SMFF, indicating lower SM mass with fatty infiltration. These findings reflect differences in the phenotype of the two groups and suggest patients with lung cancer are more likely to require additional nutritional support. Advances in knowledge: Body composition differs between NSCLC and colorectal cancer. Patients with NSCLC have both a reduced SM mass and greater SM FF suggesting that they are more nutritionally deplete than patients with colorectal cancer.

Mri Protocol

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of short whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WBMRI) protocols for the overall assessment of bone marrow involvement in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), in comparison with standard whole-body MRI protocol. Patients with biopsy-proven MM, who underwent a WBMRI with full-body coverage (from vertex to feet) were retrospectively enrolled. WBMRI images were independently evaluated by two expert radiologists, in terms of infiltration patterns (normal, focal, diffuse, and combined), according to location (the whole skeleton was divided into six anatomic districts: skull, spine, sternum and ribs, upper limbs, pelvis and proximal two-thirds of the femur, remaining parts of lower limbs) and lytic lesions number (<5, 5–20, and >20). The majority of patients showed focal and combined infiltration patterns with bone lesions predominantly distributed in the spine and pelvis. As skull and lower limbs are less frequently involved by focal bone lesions, excluding them from the standard MRI protocol allows to obtain a shorter protocol, maintaining a good diagnostic value.
