Treatment of patients with "borderline" renal function is feasible but carries a higher toxicity risk and often requires dose reduction. Creatinine-based GFR calculations may overestimate renal function in patients with diminished muscle mass. Suspecting that sarcopenia leads to GFR overestimation by traditional calculations, we investigated whether diminished skeletal mass is associated with an increased risk of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) toxicity among muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients with "borderline" renal function. METHODS: We identified patients with MIBC and baseline borderline renal function (GFR 40-65 ml/min) treated with NAC from 2001-2023 using a prospectively maintained database. Body composition measurements were derived from pre-treatment CT scans, and skeletal muscle and fat mass indices (SMI, FMI) were calculated using established formulas. Chemotherapy toxicity was documented using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate predictors of NAC toxicity. RESULTS: Among 112 patients with borderline GFR, sarcopenic patients were older (median age 69 vs. 65 years, p=0.03), had a higher smoking prevalence (73% vs. 47%, p=0.03), and had a higher incidence of any NAC-associated toxicity (85% vs. 68%, p=0.08). On multivariable analysis, SMI was independently associated with risk of any NAC-associated toxicity (odds ratio (OR) 0.88, p=0.006, Table 1) and NAC-associated renal toxicity (OR 8.38, p=0.047). Sarcopenia demonstrated a nearly five-fold rise in risk of NAC toxicity (OR 4.97, p=0.049). High-grade (CTCAE ≥2) NAC-associated renal toxicity was significantly more prevalent in sarcopenic vs. non-sarcopenic patients (33 v. 0, p=0.016). CONCLUSIONS: Diminished skeletal muscle mass independently predicts risk of any NAC toxicity and NAC-associated renal toxicity in patients with borderline renal function treated with NAC. With sarcopenia prevalent among MIBC patients, our findings highlight the need to use muscle mass-independent measures of renal function to determine cisplatin-eligibility in "borderline" patients.
