Meta AnalysisAccuracy of baseline low-dose computed tomography lung cancer screening: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Screening using low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) is a more effective approach and has the potential to detect lung cancer more accurately. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to estimate the accuracy of population-based screening studies primarily assessing baseline LDCT screening for lung cancer. ⋯ Baseline LDCT has high sensitivity and specificity as a screening technique for lung cancer. However, long-term follow-up of the whole study population (including those with a negative baseline screening result) should be performed to enhance the accuracy of LDCT screening.

Meta AnalysisChemoprevention of colorectal cancer in general population and high-risk population: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Many nutritional supplements and pharmacological agents have been reported to show preventive effects on colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer (CRC). We performed a network meta-analysis to summarize such evidence and assess the efficacy and safety of these agents. ⋯ PROSPERO, No. CRD42022296376.

Meta AnalysisLong-term outcomes of additional surgery versus non-gastrectomy treatment for early gastric cancer after non-curative endoscopic submucosal dissection: a meta-analysis.
Endoscopic resection is increasingly used in the treatment for early gastric cancer (EGC); however, about 15% of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) cases report non-curative resection. The efficacy of different remedial interventions after non-curative ESD for EGC remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the long-term outcomes of additional surgery and non-gastrectomy treatment for EGC patients who underwent non-curative ESD. ⋯ Compared with non-gastrectomy treatments, additional surgery offered better long-term survival outcomes for patients with EGC who underwent non-curative ESD.
