Objective To systematically review the prognostic efficacy and safety of patients with ovarian cancer treated with systemic lymphadenectomy (SL). Methods PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CNKI, WanFang Data, and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies on the prognostic outcomes of patients with ovarian cancer treated with SL from inception to December 16th, 2020. Six reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 5 RCTs and 23 cohort studies involving 6 166 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the 3-year survival rate, 5-year survival rate, 3-year progression-free survival rate, and 5-year progression-free survival rate between SL group and the no systemic lymphadenectomy (NSL) group. The results of the subgroup analysis showed that pelvic and para-aortic lymph node dissection combined with large omentum resection had a better prognosis for patients. Conclusions Current evidence shows that SL has no significant efficacy on survival and progression-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions.
