A lower psoas muscle volume was associated with a higher rate of recurrence in male clear cell renal cell carcinoma

摘要

Background Sarcopenia is defined as a low skeletal muscle volume. Recent studies have reported that sarcopenia is associated with a poor prognosis in various cancers. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between the psoas muscle volume and recurrence-free survival in patients with localized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
