Abstract
Chemotherapeutic treatment is regularly accompanied by side‐effects. Hydrophilic chemotherapeutics such as capecitabine and oxaliplatin (CAPOX), often used in colorectal cancer treatment, predominantly accumulate in non‐adipose tissues. Therefore the aim of this paper was to investigate whether body composition and fat infiltration in the muscle (muscle attenuation and intermuscular‐adipose‐tissue [IMAT] content) are associated with chemotherapy‐induced toxicities.
