Summary

This observational cohort study aims to track longitudinal changes in body composition, including skeletal muscle mass and fat distribution, in patients diagnosed with breast cancer. Following primary surgery and adjuvant therapy, participants will be monitored over a 2-year period. The primary objective is to evaluate the natural progression of skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and metabolic changes in this population. By conducting serial measurements, this study seeks to characterize the longitudinal trends in muscle loss and body composition shifts post-treatment, providing data to better understand the physiological impact of the cancer recovery process.
