The influence of sex on the prognostic value of body mass index in non-metastasis renal cell carcinoma

Purpose: The prognostic value of obesity in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the sex-dependent prognostic role of body mass index (BMI) in patients with nonmetastatic RCC who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy. Patients and methods: We...

Description
Summary:Purpose: The prognostic value of obesity in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains controversial. This study aimed to assess the sex-dependent prognostic role of body mass index (BMI) in patients with nonmetastatic RCC who underwent radical or partial nephrectomy. Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed 643 consecutive patients with non-metastatic RCC who underwent curative nephrectomy in our center between 2004 and 2014. Associations among BMI, sex, overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS) were analyzed. Results: Males were more likely to have a higher BMI than females (BMI as a categorical variable: P
