Xpert bladder cancer monitor in surveillance of bladder cancer : Systematic review and meta-analysis

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

INTRODUCTION: There is a need for sensitive and specific biomarkers for detecting recurrences in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) on surveillance. Xpert bladder cancer (BC) monitor is the latest rapid in vitro qualitative test that detects expression of 5 mRNAs using a GeneXpert instrument. The primary aim of this review was to systematically review and pool the data regarding the diagnostic performance of Xpert BC in patients with NMIBC.

METHODS: Systematic literature search using 4 electronic databases (PubMed, EMbase, Scopus and Web of science) was performed. Pooled sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were estimated using DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Standard Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines were followed and the study protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021249762).

RESULTS: In this review, 11 prospective studies with 2,896 patients were included. Pooled sensitivity and specificity for Xpert BC were 73% (95% confidence interval (CI) 65%-80%) and 77% (95% CI 69%-84%) respectively. Area under curve (AUC) for Xpert BC monitor was 0.81 (0.78-0.84) respectively. Subgroup analysis from 7 studies for patients with high-grade recurrence revealed sensitivity, specificity and AUC of 0.86 (0.77-0.92), 0.78 (0.75-0.81) and 0.87 (0.84-0.90) respectively. Similar analysis for patients with low-grade recurrence revealed sensitivity, specificity and AUC of 0.58 (0.47-0.68), 0.79 (0.75-0.82) and 0.79 (0.75-0.82) respectively.

CONCLUSION: Xpert BC monitor has overall acceptable diagnostic accuracy. Sensitivity is higher for high-grade disease for detecting recurrences in patients with NMIBC on surveillance.
