Abstract
- We investigated the prognostic effect of postoperative changes in skeletal muscle mass in 37 patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma undergoing cytoreductive nephrectomy. Postoperative changes in the skeletal muscle mass, measured on computed tomography images, were significantly associated with overall survival. Thus, postoperative changes in skeletal muscle mass could be a novel biomarker serving as a useful surrogate for prognosis.
