In this retrospective study, we evaluated the association between renal sinus fat area (RSFA) and survival in 268 Chinese non-metastatic clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients. Patients with high RSFA exhibited better progression-free survival than those with low RSFA in both univariable (HR: 0.240; 95% CI: 0.119-0.482; < 0.001) and multivariable (HR: 0.432; 95% CI: 0.369-2.749; = 0.027) analyses. A propensity-score matched (PSM) analysis using Kaplan-Meier curves confirmed our findings (log-rank test; = 0.028). Based on the multivariable analysis, we constructed a prognostic nomogram with 4 factors, namely, RSFA, Fuhrman grade, AJCC stage and sarcomatoid component. The c-index values for the Leibovich scoring system and the nomogram were 0.762 (95%CI, 0.688-0.835) and 0.823 (95%CI, 0.759-0.888), respectively. These findings demonstrate that high RSFA is associated with better progression-free survival in non-metastatic ccRCC.
在这项回顾性研究中,我们评估了268例中国非转移性透明细胞肾细胞癌(ccRCC)患者的肾窦脂肪面积(RSFA)与生存率之间的关联。在单变量分析(风险比[HR]:0.240;95%置信区间[CI]:0.119 - 0.482;P < 0.001)和多变量分析(HR:0.432;95% CI:0.369 - 2.749;P = 0.027)中,RSFA高的患者无进展生存期均优于RSFA低的患者。使用Kaplan-Meier曲线进行的倾向评分匹配(PSM)分析证实了我们的发现(对数秩检验;P = 0.028)。基于多变量分析,我们构建了一个包含4个因素的预后列线图,即RSFA、富尔曼分级、美国癌症联合委员会(AJCC)分期和肉瘤样成分。Leibovich评分系统和列线图的c指数值分别为0.762(95%CI,0.688 - 0.835)和0.823(95%CI,0.759 - 0.888)。这些发现表明,高RSFA与非转移性ccRCC患者更好的无进展生存期相关。
