We compared all-cause mortality (ACM), cancer-specific mortality (CSM), local recurrence (LR), distant metastases (DM), treatment-related complication rates, and post-procedure changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) between PN and ablation therapies. METHODS We performed systematic review of original articles published upto July 2016. We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate ACM, CSM, LR, DM rates, treatment-related complications and changes in eGFR. Publication bias was assessed using Begg and Egger tests. RESULTS We identified 961 papers, of which 15 fulfilled our inclusion criteria. These 15 studies represented 3974 patients who had undergone an ablative procedure (CA or RFA; n = 1455, 37%) or PN (n = 2519, 63%). ACM and CSM rates were higher for ablation than for PN (HR 2.11 [95% CI 1.54-2.87], p < 0.05; HR 3.84 [95% CI 1.66-8.88], p < 0.05 respectively). No statistically significant difference in LR rate or risk of DM was seen between ablation and PN (HR 1.32 [95% CI 0.79-2.22], p = 0.22 and HR 1.83 [95% CI 0.67-5.01], p = 0.23, respectively). Complication rates were lower for ablation than for PN (13% versus 17.6%, respectively; OR 0.49 [95% CI 0.25-0.94], p < 0.05). The overall difference in reduction of eGFR between the ablation and PN groups was -7.42 mL/min/1.73 m2 (95% CI -12.48, -2.36; p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS In this up-to-date meta-analysis, ablation, when compared to PN was associated with higher ACM and CSM, but no differences were seen in rates of LR or DM. Ablation was associated with fewer complications and a smaller reduction in eGFR when compared with PN. © 2017FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 197Issue 4SApril 2017Page: e1329 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2017MetricsAuthor Information J.
