Description
Summary: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 in the meta-analysis were recurrence, progression, side-effects, gross haematuria, and bladder irritation. Results A total of 15 studies that enrolled 1,190 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Compared to that of the control group, device-assisted intravesical instillation of MMC significantly reduced both tumour recurrence (odds ratio [OR] = 0.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.24, 0.42], P
