Poor functional, nutritional, and muscle status is a significant negative predictor for surgical and survival outcomes in patients with cancer, including renal cell carcinoma. This dataset displays results from preoperative muscle composition analysis and albumin levels in a large cohort (n = 473) of patients undergoing surgery for renal cell carcinoma. Data was obtained from retrospective review of prospectively maintained databases and retrospective image analysis. The optimal cut-point for skeletal muscle index (sarcopenia) was determined by a receiver operatic characteristic analysis to optimally stratify cohort, adjusting for BMI and sex. A threshold value of 3.5 g/dL was used to categorize normal versus low serum albumin. Patients were stratified into low risk (non-sarcopenic and normal albumin), medium risk (non-sarcopenic and low albumin, or sarcopenic and normal albumin), and high risk (sarcopenic and low albumin) groups. This data could potentially be used in future studies to determine other relationships between nutrition and musculature in renal cell carcinoma patients.
