Recurrence rates of surgically resected solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Recurrence rates of solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura (SFTP) after surgical resection vary widely in the published literature. Our objective was to systematically review the existing literature to determine an accurate estimate of SFTP recurrence rates after surgical resection and to determine risk factors associated with recurrence.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane library were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials and observational studies (prospective or retrospective) through 20 June 2020 that reported the recurrence rates after surgical resection. The outcome of interest was recurrence.

Results

Of the 23 included studies comparing 1262 patients, the overall recurrence of SFTP in patients who underwent surgical resection w
