In Regard to Vashistha et al

To the Editor: We read with interest the recently published report by Vashistha et  al, “Radical cystectomy compared to combined modality treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer: A systemic review and meta-analysis” (1). The authors searched 7 databases, found 19 studies evaluating 12,380 subjects, and finally selected 8 studies encompassing 9554 subjects eligible for m eta-analysis. They reported no difference in overall survival at 5 years or progression-free survival at 10 years within this cohort of 9554 patients.
