Abstract

Background

We aimed to describe the effect of preoperative sarcopenia on oncologic outcomes of organ-confined renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after radical nephrectomy.

Patients and Methods

A total of 632 patients with pT1–2 RCC who underwent radical nephrectomy between 2004 and 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. From preoperative computerized tomography (CT) scans, skeletal muscle index (SMI) was measured and gender-specific cutoff values at third lumbar vertebra of 52.4 cm2/m2 for men and 38.5 cm2/m2 for women were used to define sarcopenia. Survivals were compared and associations with sarcopenia were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier log rank tests and Cox proportional hazard regression models. Median follow-up was 83 months.

Results

Of 632 patients, 268 (42.4%) were classified as sarcopenic. The sarcopenic group was more advanced in age (57 versus 53 years) and more predominantly male (71.3% versus 59.9%). Sarcopenic patients had lower body mass index (BMI, 23.0 versus 25.9 kg/m2), but there was no difference in tumor size, stage, or nuclear grade. Sarcopenia was associated with poorer overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS; OS 94.0% versus 82.1%; p < 0.001 and CSS 97.5% versus 91.8%; p < 0.001). On multivariate analysis, sarcopenia was an independent risk factor for all-cause mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 2.58; 95% CI 1.02–6.54] and cancer-specific mortality (HR 3.07; 95% CI 1.38–6.83).

Conclusions

Sarcopenia at diagnosis was an independent risk factor for all-cause and cancer-specific mortality after radical nephrectomy for pT1–2 RCC. These findings underscore the importance of assessing presence of sarcopenia for risk stratification even among surgical candidates.

Akute Cholezystitis bei multimorbiden Älteren: Operation nicht sofort ausschließen!

Bei älteren, multimorbiden Menschen mit akuter Cholezystitis wird eine Operation häufig nicht erwogen. Eine Studie aus Philadelphia zeigt nun jedoch, dass auch diese Patientinnen und Patienten von einer chirurgischen Therapie profitieren können.

Was geschehen muss, damit Prähabilitation in die Leitlinien kommt

Eine Prähabilitation vor einem viszeralchirurgischen Eingriff ist Experten zufolge äußerst sinnvoll, dennoch wird sie in Leitlinien derzeit nicht empfohlen. Beim DCK erklärte Prof. Tim Vilz aus Bonn, woran das liegt und was benötigt wird, um die Situation zu ändern.

Thoracic-Outlet-Syndrom nur in Ausnahmefällen operieren!

Das Thoracic-Outlet-Syndrom erfordert nur in ganz bestimmten Fällen ein operatives Vorgehen. Beim DCK wurde vor schwerwiegenden Komplikationen des anspruchsvollen Eingriffs gewarnt.

Statine: Was der G-BA-Beschluss für Praxen bedeutet

Nach dem G-BA-Beschluss zur erweiterten Verordnungsfähigkeit von Lipidsenkern rechnet die DEGAM mit 200 bis 300 neuen Dauerpatienten pro Praxis. Im Interview erläutert Präsidiumsmitglied Erika Baum, wie Hausärztinnen und Hausärzte am besten vorgehen.
