👥Biography 个人简介

Carla Prado is a leading authority on CT-based body composition assessment in cancer and has demonstrated that CT-measured sarcopenia and muscle density are independent predictors of cancer outcomes, chemotherapy toxicity, and mortality. Her research has explored the obesity-sarcopenia paradox in cancer and contributed to standardizing body composition assessment methods across institutions and clinical trials.
