Brief summary (registry, in English)

The PHILICA study investigates whether muscle mass, muscle strength, and muscle function are associated with treatment tolerance, quality of life and survival in patients with lung cancer. It also aims to explore why some patients face challenges in completing their treatment. The findings may contribute to improved strategies for supporting patients and developing more precise and individualized treatment plans in the future.
