Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted from December 2010 to November 2017 in a single tertiary medical center. The medical charts and computed tomography images were reviewed. Statistical analysis included oncological features, their correlation with body composition factors, and overall survival. Results: Skeletal muscle volume was significantly higher in patients with Fuhrman grade 2 RCC than those with gradeā‰„3. Patients with intermediate International Metastatic RCC Database Consortium risk had significantly higher BMI and skeletal muscle compared to those with poor risk. Multivariate analysis showed that increased skeletal muscle and decreased visceral adipose tissue were significant predictors of a better overall survival. Conclusion: Body composition highly correlated with the oncological features of metastatic RCC and impacted survival. ER -
