Abstract
AbstractIn this meta‐analysis, we reviewed the findings and definitive findings of a new study that assessed the impact of bevacizumab on wound healing following combined chemotherapy for ovarian cancer (OC). The results of a controlled study that assessed the efficacy of bevacizumab in the treatment of ovarian cancer were retrieved from 4 databases, such as the Web of Science and EMBASE. The results of the adverse event associated with wound healing were determined by comparison of the controlled studies of bevacizumab plus chemotherapy in the treatment of ovarian cancer. A meta‐analysis was conducted with either a randomized or a fixed‐effect model in order to establish an odds ratio for time to event variables and for a binary outcome. In the research literature, 830 trials have been identified and seven have been chosen to be included in a definitive analysis of the trial. Among the 4134 cases who received chemotherapy after operation, 2098 received standard chemotherapy and 2036 received the addition of bevacizumab. A total of 7 trials have shown that the use of bevacizumab in the treatment of ovarian cancer patients has reduced wound healing (OR, 0.55; 95% CI: 0.37, 0.80, p = 0.002). Four trials demonstrated that there was no change in the incidence of haemorrhage in patients with ovarian cancer when administered with or without bevacizumab (OR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.10, 2.34, p = 0.37). The combined use of bevacizumab and chemotherapy may have a negative effect on the healing of wound.
