ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to conduct a network meta-analysis comparing the diagnostic value of different urinary markers for prostate cancer.MethodsAs of June 2022, the literature was retrieved by searching Pubmed, EMBASE, Web of Science databases and other databases. The methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s risk of bias tool, and publication bias was assessed using funnel plots. The surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values ​​was used to determine the most effective diagnostic method and the data were analyzed accordingly using data analysis software.ResultsA total of 16 articles was included including 9952 patients. The ranking results of network meta-analysis showed that the diagnostic performance of the four urine markers Selectmdx, MIPS, PCA3 and EPI was better than that of PSA. Among them, the specificity, positive predictive value and diagnostic accuracy of Selectmdx ranked first in the SUCRA ranking (SUCRA values: 85.2%, 88.3%, 97.1%), and the sensitivity ranked second in the SUCRA ranking (SUCRA value: 54.4%), and the negative predictive value ranked fourth in SUCRA (SUCRA value: 51.6%). The most sensitive screening tool was MIPS (SUCRA value: 67.1%), and it was also the second screening tool ranked higher in specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and diagnostic accuracy (SUCRA value: 56.5%, respectively)., 57.1%, 67.9%, 74.3%). The high negative predictive value SUCRA ranking is EPI (SUCRA value: 68.0%), its sensitivity ranks third (SUCRA value: 45.6%), and its specificity, positive predictive value and diagnostic accuracy are ranked fourth (SUCRA values are: 45%, 38.2%, 35.8%).ConclusionAccording to the network ranking diagram, we finally concluded that Selectmdx and MIPS can be used as the most suitable urine markers for prostate cancer screening and diagnosis. To further explore the diagnostic value of different urinary markers in the screening of PCa patients.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://inplasy.com/, identifier INPLASY202290094.

This study aimed to investigate whether Enfortumab vedotin (EV) is suitable for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma and to perform a metaanalysis of its efficacy and safety. Five studies involved 584 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The results of single-arm meta-analysis showed that with EV at 1.25 mg/kg, the objective response rate (ORR) was 47%. The meta-analysis indicated that EV showed good efficacy and safety in the patient population of locally advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma.
