Researchers are developing and testing a new prediction tool based on CT scan images to identify cervical cancer patients who may struggle with malnutrition after surgery and follow-up radiation or chemotherapy. The tool analyzes muscle measurements from your CT scans to predict nutrition risk early, so doctors can provide better nutritional support during your cancer treatment. This study will test whether the tool works accurately in real-world practice.
Many cervical cancer patients develop malnutrition after surgery and cancer treatment, which can make their bodies weaker and less able to tolerate therapy. Better nutrition support could help patients recover better and have fewer treatment side effects, but doctors need a reliable way to identify who is at highest risk early on.

You would be part of either a training group (up to 100 patients) or a validation group (50 patients) at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital. Researchers will analyze your CT scan images—specifically measurements of your muscle at a certain level of your spine—to test whether their prediction tool can identify nutrition risk. You'll continue your regular cancer treatment (radiation or chemotherapy) and receive nutritional support, while the study team follows your progress and tracks your nutrition status.
