AB - Small-cell bladder cancer (SCBC) is an aggressive and rare malignancy for which there is no clear optimal treatment strategy. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the median overall survival (OS) of patients with limited-stage (LS) SCBC treated with either cystectomy-based multimodal therapy (CBMMT) or radiation-based multimodal therapy (RBMMT).A comprehensive search of PUBMED, Embase, and Scopus databases was performed for studies published before January 2024 according to the PRISMA guidelines. Studies have assessed LS-SCBC disease and provided survival data for subgroups of patients undergoing radical surgery or bladder-preserving approaches to be deemed eligible. Data extraction and quality assessment were independently conducted by 2 authors.Five studies comprising 1041 patients were analyzed. The pooled median OS for patients receiving RBMMT was 34.6 months (95
