Growing evidence suggests that obesity, an established cause of renal cell cancer (RCC), may also be associated with a better prognosis.

We collected clinical and pathologic data from 1,543 patients who underwent nephrectomy for RCC between 1994 and 2008 with complete follow-up through 2008. Patients were grouped according to BMI (kg/m2): underweight
