- Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most prevalent histologic subtype of renal cell carcinoma in the US, constituting 85% of cases, with an estimated 69,000 new cases in 2023.
- Obese patients have an elevated risk of developing ccRCC.
- Despite the increased risk, obese patients with ccRCC paradoxically exhibit better outcomes compared to normal-weight patients, known as the “obesity paradox.”
- Understanding the molecular phenotype of obesity-associated ccRCC is the focus of this study.
