| Expected outcome 1. It is expected to find a deterioration of cell membrane integrity and body composition, assessed through bioimpedance analysis, taking into consideration a decrease of at least 5% in pre- and post-chemotherapy measurements.;Outcome found 1. Chemotherapy had a negative effect on the integrity of the cell membrane of muscle tissue, evidenced by the reduction of PhA, without influence of food intake, lean mass and level of physical activity. | — |
