Popis: Based on the observation of beneficial effects on cancer metabolism, microenvironment, or VEGF-signaling, several non-anticancer drugs have been discussed as useful in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In the present study, we investigated the prognostic impact of concomitant medication in RCC and correlated comedication with cell-cycle and proliferation activity in corresponding surgical specimen. A total of 388 patients who underwent surgery for localized RCC were included. The individual medication was evaluated according to substance classes. Tissue microarrays from corresponding tumor specimen were immunohistochemically (IHC) stained for Cyclin D1 and Ki67 and semi-quantitatively evaluated. Uni- and multivariate analyses were used to compare survival outcomes. For the comparison of IHC expression according to medication subgroups, Kruskal–Wallis analysis was performed. Median follow-up was 57.93 months (95% CI 53.27–69.43) and median OS accounted for 181.12 months (129.72–237.17). Univariate analysis identified pathological standard variables (T-stage > T2, Grading > G2, L1, N1, M1, sarcomatoid subtype, necrosis) as significant determinants of OS. Moreover, statin use (p = 0.009) and sartan use (p = 0.032) were significantly associated with improved OS. Multivariate analysis identified M1-stage (p
