The clinical efficacy and safety of equipment-assisted intravesical instillation of mitomycin C after transurethral resection of bladder tumour in patients with nonmuscular invasive bladder cancer: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This review and meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of equipment-assisted intravesical instillation of mitomycin C (MMC) in patients with nonmuscular invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) after transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT).

Methods

The Embase, PubMed, CNKI, CBM, WANGFANG, VIP, Cochrane Library, and Clinicaltrial.com databases were searched for articles published before April 2022. The experimental group was treated with intravesical instillation of MMC assisted by equipment, including radiofrequency-induced thermochemotherapy, conductive thermochemical therapy, electromotive drug administration, or locoregional hyperthermia. The control group was treated with simple MMC perfusion. The outcomes of interest
