Preoperative low-density lipoprotein cholesterol as a predictor of favorable prognosis in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies have shown that dyslipidemia is closely tied to a variety of cancers, and the level of low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is related to the prognosis of cancer patients. However, what remains unclear is the predictive meaning of LDL-C among patients who suffer from renal cell carcinoma, especially clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the preoperative levels of serum LDL-C and the prognosis of surgical patients who suffer from clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Methods

A total of 308 CCRCC patients that received radical or partial nephrectomy were retrospectively included in this study. The clinical data of each included patient were collected. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-speci
