Estimation of the incidence of urachal cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of registry-based studies

CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides an up-to-date comparison of estimated incidence rates between 6 countries of 3 continents based on rigorously selected registry-based studies. The results suggest low incidence rates for UrC with considerable geographic differences. The present meta-analysis provides unbiased registry-based data on the incidence, clinicopathological parameters and survival of UrC.PMID:38627107 | DOI:10.1016/j.urolonc.2024.03.011
