Prognostic significance of sarcopenia in upper tract urothelial carcinoma patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy

We investigated the prognostic significance of sarcopenia in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) patients treated with radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). The skeletal muscle index (SMI) was calculated from computed tomography images. Sarcopenia was defined as SMI
