Abstract
Body composition, namely the distribution and quantification of muscle and adipose tissue, are of increasing interest as potential prognostic indicators in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Herein, we review the available literature examining body composition in relation to outcomes for patients with RCC, methodology used to quantify muscle and adipose tissue using cross-sectional imaging, and future directions for translation of these findings into clinical care.
