Preoperative Prognostic Nutritional Index is a Significant Predictor of Survival in Renal Cell Carcinoma Patients Undergoing Nephrectomy

The aim of the current study was to clarify the significance of the prognostic nutritional index (PNI), which simply accounts for immunological and nutritional conditions, in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
