The aim was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of available literature on local recurrence (LR), overall survival (OS) and associated risk factors of MSCC. Study Design: The Cochrane, PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched with related keywords and synonyms. The pooled proportions of both LR and OS were subsequently calculated with 95% confidence intervals.
