Role of repeat transurethral resection in no-muscle-invasive bladder tumour: an umbrella review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Repeat transurethral resection of bladder tumour (reTURB) is a conventional treatment for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) to enhance prognosis. However, the necessity of reTURB in NMIBC remains controversial owing to upstaging of treatments and new evidence.

Objectives

We performed an umbrella review to determine the need for reTURB in patients with NMIBC.

Design

We extracted data from meta-analyses that were screened out after a systematic search of PubMed, Embase, the Web of Science and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.

Methods

Risk of Bias in Systematic Reviews and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation tools were used to assess the quality of each included meta-analysis and outcomes.
