“…The risk of 1, 2, 3, and 5-year DM was similar in nonoperation and radical surgery groups (RR 3.93, 95% CI 0.60-0.25.95, P = 0.160; RR 0.71, 95% CI 0.31-1.62, P = 0.420; RR 0.93, 95% CI 0.44-1.96, P = 0.12; RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.47-1.91, P = 0.88, respectively). Two articles that did not mention DFS and OS after surgery were excluded from this analysis [11, 13]. Patients in the observation and surgery groups had similar 1, 2, 3, and 5-year DFS (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.91-0.99, P = 2.23; RR 0.97, 95% CI 0.92-1.03, P = 0.280; RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.85-1.06, P = 0.39; RR 0.96, 95% CI 0.85-1.08, P = 0.850, respectively).…”
