| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
(1) We measured the time-course change of body composition by bioelectrical impedance analysis. We compared the body composition before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment. Although the body weight and skeletal muscle mass decreased significantly, there was no significant difference in body fat mass. (2) We classified the patients into two groups by high and low creatinine height index (CHI). In low CHI group, there was higher ratio of severe hematological toxicity, more delayed days of radiotherapy, and less survival rate. In this study, although we could not elucidate the factor of muscle mass reduction, our results suggested the low muscle mass at pre-treatment was likely to associate to severe hematological toxicity and the interruption of treatment.
