Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how preoperative paraneoplastic syndromes (PNS) relate to survival outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients after surgery, discovering high prevalence rates of PNS among different cancer stages.
- A total of 2,599 patients were analyzed, revealing that the percentage of patients with multiple PNS increased from 31.3% in Stage I to 74.2% in Stage IV, with elevated C-reactive protein being the most common PNS (45.4%).
- The findings show that having more than one PNS significantly raises the risk of both overall and cancer-specific mortality, highlighting the prognostic importance of PNS in RCC patient outcomes post-nephrectomy.
