biostudies-literatureUnknown18(1)Cai Z<h4>Background</h4>No available meta-analysis was printed to systematically introduce the MPNST clinic outcome and risk factors based on largely pooled data. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate 5-year OS rate, 5-year EFS rate, and LR rate for MPNST, and to assess potential risk factors for prognosis.<h4>Methods</h4>Electronic articles published between January 1, 1966 and February 29, 2020 were searched and critically evaluated. The authors independently reviewed the abstracts and extracted data for 5-year OS rate, 5-year EFS rate, LR rate, and potential risk factors for prognosis.<h4>Results</h4>Twenty-eight literatures were finally included for meta-analysis. The pooled 5-year OS rate, 5-year EFS rate, and LR rate were 49%, 37%, and 38%, respectively.
