Review Meta Analysis
A Network Meta-Analysis of Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer (NMSC) Treatments: Efficacy and Safety Assessment.
The mainstream treatments for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) include photodynamic therapy (PDT), surgery excision (SE), cryotherapy (CT), imiquimod (IM), radiotherapy (RT), 5-fluorouracil (FU), and vehicle (VE). Our network meta-analysis (NMA) was aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of these seven treatments and providing superior ones. After searching the trials from Embase and PubMed and screening with our criteria, we conducted the NMA with software R 3.2.3 and STATA 13.0. ⋯ J. Cell.
