THE RELATIONSHIP OF PATHOLOGICAL RESPONSE AND VISCERAL MUSCLE AND FAT VOLUME IN WOMEN WITH BREAST CANCER WHO RECEIVED NEOADJUVAN CHEMOTHERAPY

We prepared a manuscript entitled “The Relatıonshıp Of Pathologıcal Response And Vısceral Muscle And Fat Volume In Women Wıth Breast Cancer Who Receıved Neoadjuvan Chemotherapy” with expectations that it will be found of interest as to be published in ‘’original  article’’ section of your journal. To the best of our knowledge, The study aims to determine the relationship between muscle-fat volume and body mass index (BMI) obtained from 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (18F-FDG-PET-CT) and computed tomography images (CT) in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) with the diagnosis of breast cancer and complete pathological response (pCR) was aimed to reveal the relationship. This is the first study in the literature investigating the relationship between the pCR ratio and body muscle-fat volume measured by CoreSlicer AI 2.0 in patients with breast cancer who received NCT, and no correlation was found between the pCR ratio and total muscle-fat volüme. The present study has not been published, nor is under simultaneous consideration of any other publication. Each author confirms that this manuscript was prepared and sent with his/her approval has been taken.
