The diagnostic accuracy of urine-derived exosomes for bladder cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Urine-derived exosomes could potentially be biomarkers for bladder cancer (BC) diagnosis. This study aimed to systematically evaluate the diagnostic worth of urine-derived exosomes in BC patients through a meta-analysis of diverse studies.

Methods

A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane, and CNKI databases to obtain the literature concerning the diagnosis of BC via urine-derived exosomes. A literature retrieval strategy was devised to pick articles and extract needed data from the literature. QUADS-2 was used to evaluate the quality of the included literatures, and the aggregated diagnostic effect was assessed by calculating the area under the aggregated SROC curve. All statistical analyses and plots were conducted with ST
