The total irradiation dose was 60-79.6 Gy (relative biological effectiveness). Over a median follow-up of 37 months, the 3-year overall and disease-specific survival rates were 95% and 100%, respectively, and no recurrence occurred. No patient experienced grade 3 or higher adverse events. The serum blood urea nitrogen (p=0.25) and creatinine levels (p=0.95) were not significantly affected, although the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate was reduced by 7.1±11.2 ml/min/1.73 m2 Conclusion Despite the small number of patients, high-dose PBT can control RCC while maintaining their renal function with high probability, and could be and alternative curative therapy especially for inoperable patients. To investigate the impact of body composition on morbidity and mortality at the initial diagnosis of localised renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in patients with overweight or obesity. Sarcopenia was defined using sex-specific cut-off points and other body composition parameters by median values with computed tomography imaging. Among the 96 patients, 40 had sarcopenia (43.0%) at diagnosis. Body composition had no effect on morbidity and 5-year disease-free survival contrary to the classic factors (p<0.05). In the subgroup of obese patients, those with sarcopenia had a poor prognosis (p=0.04) but not in the population with overweight (p=0.9). Sarcopenia was frequently associated with localised RCC at the initial diagnosis. Body composition did not affect morbidity or outcomes. BMI was involved in morbidity and there was paradoxically longer survival in the obesity group. Sarcopenia was frequently associated with localised RCC at the initial diagnosis.
