Association of visceral and subcutaneous adiposity with tumor stage and Fuhrman grade in renal cell carcinoma
Abstract Higher BMI has been associated with lower tumor stage and grade and improved survival in renal cell cancer (RCC). BMI cannot distinguish between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). We examined associations of BMI, VAT, SAT, total adipose tissue (TAT) and rel...

| description | Abstract Higher BMI has been associated with lower tumor stage and grade and improved survival in renal cell cancer (RCC). BMI cannot distinguish between visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). We examined associations of BMI, VAT, SAT, total adipose tissue (TAT) and relative VAT (rVAT) with tumor stage and grade in RCC patients. In a Dutch multicenter population-based historical cohort study 1039 RCC patients diagnosed between 2008 and 2012 were assessed for VAT and SAT using Computed Tomography images at L3. Sex-stratified multinomial logistic regression analyses were performed (linearly per 10-unit increase) between BMI, VAT, SAT, TAT and relative VAT (rVAT) with tumor stage and Fuhrman grade. Higher VAT, TAT and rVAT were associated with a lower risk of stage IV versus stage I in males (OR 0.93; 95%CI 0.91–0.96, OR 0.95; 95%CI 0.93–0.98, OR 0.97; 95%CI 0.96–0.99, respectively). Females showed similar associations, but only higher VAT was statistically significantly associated with reduced risk of stage IV (OR 0.95 95%CI 0.89–1.00). No associations with grade, SAT or BMI were found. In conclusion, higher VAT and TAT was associated with lower risk of stage IV RCC. This might be due to weight loss or cancer cachexia in stage IV patients. |
