AI-derived liver and adrenal volumes linked to survival in kidney cancer

Higher CT-derived liver volume (HR 1.42) and right adrenal gland volume (HR 1.34) were independently associated with worse overall survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma patients; no association with recurrence-free survival after adjustment.

• Compared with healthy controls, ccRCC patients had higher spleen and adrenal gland volume indices and lower pancreatic volume index.
• No organ volume parameter was associated with recurrence-free survival after multiple-testing correction.
• Findings require external validation and further mechanistic investigation.
