Bayesian network analysis of long-term oncologic outcomes of open, laparoscopic, and robot-assisted radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To understand the long-term oncologic outcomes of open radical cystectomy (ORC) versus laparoscopic radical cystectomy (LRC) versus robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for bladder cancer (BCa). Therefore, we performed the conventional meta-analysis and network meta-analysis to evaluate the long-term oncologic outcomes of ORC, LRC, and RARC for BCa.

Methods

A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Medline, and Web of science was performed up until July 1, 2021. Long-term oncologic outcomes include the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate, the 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate, and the 5-year cancer specific-survival (CSS) rate. The Bayesian network analysis has been registered in PROSPERO (CRD42020208396).
