Figure 1 Radiologic image showing a comparison of body composition at diagnosis (A) and post neo-adjuvant (B) chemotherapy (two computed tomography scans of the third lumbar vertebra skeletal mass) for the same patient.
Red: Muscle; Yellow: Visceral fat; Blue: Subcutaneous fat.
Figure 2 Overall change in body composition from diagnosis to after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy.
A: Skeletal muscle index; B: Adipose tissue index.
Figure 3 Individual changes in lumbar skeletal muscle index (cm2/m2) from diagnosis to after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy following regular enteral feeding via jejunostomy.
Figure 4 Individual changes in lumbar adipose tissue index (cm2/m2) from diagnosis to after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy following regular enteral feeding via jejunostomy.
