Popis: Identification of anthracycline-induced muscle loss is critical for maintaining health in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients. We used routine chest computed tomography (CT) scans to investigate changes in skeletal muscle of 16 AYA sarcoma patients at thoracic vertebrae 4 (T4) after anthracycline treatment. CT images were examined at three time points (prechemotherapy, postchemotherapy, and 1 year). Significant changes in total skeletal muscle index and density were seen after chemotherapy (p = 0.021 and p = 0.016, respectively) and at 1 year versus baseline (both p
