Prognostic Significance of Preoperative Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in Renal Cell Carcinoma

The effect of preoperative glycemic control measured by HbA1c on renal cell carcinoma (RCC) outcome remains controversial. Thus, the investigators aim to examine the association of preoperative glycemic control with oncologic outcomes after radical or partial nephrectomy. The investigators will prospectively collect the relevant data including preoperative HbA1c in 238 patients of RCC patients undergoing nephrectomy. The associations between clinical variables and risk of adverse pathological features and disease recurrence will be tested using a multivariate logistic regression and multiple Cox-proportional hazards model, respectively.
