Project description:BackgroundAccumulating evidence supports the overexpression of mucin 1 (MUC1) in colorectal cancer (CRC), but the value of elevated MUC1 expression remains controversial. Here, we evaluated the prognostic and clinicopathological value of MUC1 expression in CRC.Materials and methodsThe Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Wanfang databases, as well as the China Biology Medicine disc (CBMdisc) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) were searched for studies on MUC1 expression and prognosis of CRC through July 20, 2018. The pooled relative risks (RRs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated to evaluate the prognostic and clinicopathological value of MUC1 expression in CRC. The Revman version 5.3 package and STATA, version 12 were employed for pooled analysis and analysis of publication bias.ResultsThis meta-analysis included 16 published studies. The combined analysis showed that CRC patients with high MUC1 expression had a worse clinical outcome in overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.30-1.75, P <.00001). In addition, high MUC1 expression was associated with higher TNM stage (RR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.17-1.77, P = .0007), greater depth of invasion (RR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.10-1.53, P = .002), and lymph node metastasis (RR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.20-1.80, P = .0002) of CRC. However, the elevated MUC1 expression was not related to disease-free survival/recurrence-free survival (DFS/RFS) (HR = 1.51, 95% CI = 0.78-2.89, P = .22), histological grade (RR = 1.15, 95% CI = 0.96-1.38, P = .12), gender (RR = 0.95; 95% CI = 0.83-1.08, P = .44), tumor size (RR = 1.11, 95% CI = 0.85-1.44, P = .44), tumor site (RR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.88-1.16, P = .84), or mucinous component (RR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.60-1.14, P = .24) in CRC.ConclusionOur findings indicated that high MUC1 expression represents a marker of poor prognosis in CRC. Meanwhile, elevated MUC1 expression was associated with advanced TNM stage, greater depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis.

Project description:BackgroundThe prognostic value of HIFs in colorectal cancer was evaluated in a large number of studies, but the conclusions were inconclusive. Meanwhile, clinicopathologic differences of HIF-1? and HIF-2? were rarely compared in recent studies.MethodologyIdentical search strategies were used to search relevant literatures in the PubMed and Web of Science databases. The prognostic significances and clinicopathological differences of HIFs in CRC were analyzed.Principal findingsA total of 23 studies comprising 2984 CRC patients met the inclusion criteria. The results indicated that overexpressed HIFs were significantly associated with increase of mortality risk, including overall survival (OS) (HR 2.06 95%CI 1.55-2.74) and disease free survival (HR 2.84, 95%CI 1.87-4.31). Subgroup analysis revealed that both overexpressed HIF-1? and HIF-2? had correlations with worse prognosis. The pooled HRs were 2.01 (95% CI: 1.55-2.6) and 2.07(95% CI: 1.01-4.26). Further subgroup analysis on HIF-1? was performed by study location, number of patients, quality score and cut-off value. The results showed that HIF-1? overexpression was significantly associated with poor OS, particularly in Asian countries (HR 2.3, 95% CI: 1.74-3.01), while not in European or other countries. In addition, overexpression of HIF-1? was closely related with these clinicopathological features, including Dukes' stages (OR 0.39, 95% CI: 0.17-0.89), UICC stages (OR 0.42 95% CI: 0.3-0.59), depth of invasion (OR 0.71, 95% CI: 0.51-0.99), lymphnode status (OR 0.49, 95% CI: 0.32-0.73) and metastasis (OR 0.29, 95% CI: 0.11-0.81). While overexpression of HIF-2? was only associated with grade of differentiation (OR 0.48, 95% CI: 0.29-0.81).ConclusionsThis study showed that both HIF-1? and HIF-2? overexpression were associated with an unfavorable prognosis. HIF-1? overexpression seemed to be associated with worse prognosis in Asian countries. Additionally, HIF-1? and HIF-2? indicated distinct clinicopathologic features.

Project description:Despite initial indications that the transcription factor Twist could be used as a breast cancer prognostic marker, there still exists some controversy about its reliability. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess the relationship between Twist expression and prognosis in breast carcinoma.We identified eligible studies that reported an association between Twist expression and breast cancer prognosis by searching the literature in PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases, through June 5, 2017. Studies investigating Twist protein or mRNA expression as well as reporting survival data in breast cancer were included. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) and odds radio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were used to estimate associations.A total of 2,671 patients from seven included studies were assessed, and the data indicated that increased Twist expression significantly correlated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.00-1.33; P = 0.04) in breast cancer. In addition, we also observed a significant correlation of elevated Twist expression with larger tumor size (OR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.31-2.81; P = 0.0009), lymph node involvement (OR, 3.81; 95% CI, 1.16-12.54; P = 0.03), higher nuclear grade (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.06-2.00; P = 0.02), and positive human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status (OR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.06-2.09; P = 0.02). However, no correlation between Twist expression and disease-free survival (DFS), age, estrogen receptor (ER) status, and progesterone receptor (PR) status was observed.Our results demonstrate that Twist over-expression is a statistically significant indicator of OS in breast cancer. In addition, our meta-analysis shows that increased Twist expression is significantly associated with larger tumor size, lymph node involvement, higher nuclear grade, and positive HER2 status.

Project description:PurposeTo systematically evaluate the correlation between PD-L1 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).MethodsSeven databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, CBM, Wanfang, and CNKI) were searched through May 2020. Risk of bias and quality of evidence were assessed by using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS), and meta-analysis was carried out by using the Review Manager 5.3 software on the studies with the quality evaluation scores ??6. Meta-regression analysis was used to determine the independent role of PD-L1 expression on CRC prognosis after adjusting clinicopathological features and treatment methods.ResultsA total of 8823 CRC patients in 32 eligible studies. PD-L1 expression was correlated with lymphatic metastasis (yes/no; OR?=?1.24, 95% CI (1.11, 1.38)), diameter of tumor (??5 cm/<?5 cm; OR?=?1.34, 95% CI (1.06, 1.70)), differentiation (high-middle/low; OR?=?0.68, 95% CI (0.53, 0.87)), and vascular invasion (yes/no; OR?=?0.80, 95% CI (0.69, 0.92)). PD-L1 expression shortened the overall survival (hazard ratio (HR) =?1.93, 95% CI (1.66, 2.25)), disease-free survival (HR?=?1.76, 95% CI (1.50, 2.07)), and progression-free survival (HR?=?1.93, 95% CI (1.55, 2.41)). Meta-regression showed that PD-L1 expression played a significant role on poor CRC OS (HR?=?1.95, 95% CI (1.92, 3.98)) and disease-free survival (HR?=?2.14, 95% CI (0.73, 4.52)).ConclusionPD-L1 expression independently predicted a poor prognosis of CRC.

Project description:Numerous published studies have shown that S100A4 is frequently overexpressed in various human cancers. However, the association between S100A4 expression and prognosis or clinicopathological parameters in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. Therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to identify the significance of S100A4 in NSCLC. Systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure database (CNKI), and the Wanfang database to obtain relevant articles. A combined hazard ratio (HR) and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the association between S100A4 expression and prognosis in NSCLC patients. Pooled odds ratio (OR) and 95% CI were calculated to assess the association between S100A4 expression and clinicopathological features in NSCLC. NSCLC patients with overexpression of S100A4 had a worse prognosis than patients with low expression of S100A4 (HR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.55-2.02, P<0.001). Additionally, overexpression of S100A4 was significantly correlated to patients' age (OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.49-0.91, P=0.010), tumor differentiation (OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.69-2.85, P<0.001), lymph node metastasis (LNM) (OR = 3.70, 95% CI: 2.25-6.06, P<0.001), Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage (OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 2.10-4.53, P<0.001), and pathological subtype (OR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.09-2.88, P=0.020). However, there was no association between S100A4 expression and other clinicopathological features in NSCLC, including gender, tumor size, and smoking. S100A4 overexpression was associated with tumor progression and poor prognosis in NSCLC patients. Hence, S100A4 might serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in NSCLC.

Project description:The abnormal expression of Beclin-1 has recently been investigated in a variety of tumors. However, previous studies have obtained contradicting results regarding the clinical and prognostic value of Beclin-1 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We performed a meta-analysis to clarify the prognostic value of Beclin-1 and its correlations with clinical pathological parameters in HCC.Relevant studies were systematically retrieved from PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wan Fang and Chinese VIP databases. We used the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) to estimate the quality of the involved studies.Ten eligible studies with 1086 HCC patients were included in this study. Our results showed that decreased Beclin-1 expression in HCC related to histological grade [poor-undifferentiated vs. well-moderate: odds ratio (OR)?=?2.34, 95% confidence interval (CI)?=?1.65-3.32, P?<?0.00001]. The pooled hazard ratio (HR) (HR?=?1.43, 95% CI?=?1.17-1.75, P?=?0.0004) indicated that decreased Beclin-1 expression correlated with poor overall survival (OS).This meta-analysis indicated that decreased Beclin-1 expression might relate to poor differentiation and unfavorable outcome in HCC.

Project description:Many studies have reported the prognostic predictive value of CD166 as a cancer stem cell marker in cancers of the digestive system; however, its predictive value remains controversial. Here, we investigate the correlation between CD166 positivity in digestive system cancers and clinicopathological features using meta-analysis.A comprehensive search in PubMed and ISI Web of Science through March of 2013 was performed. Only articles containing CD166 antigen immunohistochemical staining in cancers of the digestive system were included,including pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. Data comparing 3- and 5-year overall survival along with other clinicopathological features were collected.Nine studies with 2553 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included for the analysis. The median rate of CD166 immunohistochemical staining expression was 56% (25.4%-76.3%). In colorectal cancer specifically, the results of a fixed-effects model indicated that CD166-positive expression was an independent marker associated with a smaller tumor burden (T category; RR = 0.93, 95%, CI: 0.88-0.98) but worse spread to nearby lymph nodes (N category; RR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.05-1.30). The 5-year overall survival rate was showed relationship with cytoplasmic positive staining of CD166 (RR = 1.47 95% 1.21-1.79), but no significant association was found in the pool or any other stratified analysis with 3- or 5- year overall survival rate.Based on the published studies, different cellular location of CD166 has distinct prognostic value and cytoplasmic positive expression is associated with worse prognosis outcome. Besides, our results also find CD166 expression indicate advanced T category and N-positive status in colorectal cancer specifically.

Project description:Purpose: The role of Rac1 in cancer survival has been widely studied. However, the prognostic and clinicopathological value of Rac1 remains inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis to clarify the role of Rac1 in cancer survival as well as its association with clinicopathological features. Methods: Eligible studies were searched from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to detect the prognostic and clinicopathological role of Rac1. Results: A total of 14 studies including 1793 patients were enrolled in the present meta-analysis. Pooled HR for overall survival (OS) (HR=2.02, 95% CI: 1.70-2.39) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR=2.64, 95% CI: 1.71-4.09) indicated a significant poor prognostic effect for Rac1. Positive Rac1 expression was found to be correlated with tumor stage, blood vessel invasion, and lymph metastasis, but not with histological differentiation. Sensitivity test showed no single study altered OS or DFS significantly. No publication bias was detected by Egger's test and Begg's funnel plot test. Conclusion: This meta-analysis indicated that Rac1 could be used as a potential marker to predict cancer prognosis. Additionally, Rac1 expression was associated with the malignancy-related phenotype.

Project description:BackgroundKi-67 is an established marker of cell proliferation, and the Ki-67 index correlates with the clinical course of several cancer types, including bladder cancer (BC). However, the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of Ki-67 in bladder cancer remains unclear. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to clarify this relationship.MethodsA comprehensive literature search for relevant studies published up to February 1, 2016, was performed using PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and ISI Web of Knowledge. The effects of Ki-67 expression on survival outcome in patients with BC and BC subtypes were evaluated. Furthermore, the relationship between Ki-67 expression and the clinicopathological features of BC were assessed.ResultsThirty-one studies with 5147 bladder cancer patients were selected for evaluation. Ki-67 expression was significantly associated with shorter recurrence-free (HR 1.69, 95% CI: 1.33-2.14), progression-free (HR 1.89, 95% CI: 1.43-2.51), overall (HR 2.03, 95% CI: 1.31-3.16), and cancer-specific (HR 1.69, 95% CI: 1.47-1.95) survival. Moreover, whereas high expression was more common in high tumor stage, recurrence status, tumor size, there was no correlation between high Ki-67 expression and age, gender, smoking habits, and tumor number. Importantly, analysis of the different subgroups of BC suggested that significant correlations between high Ki-67 expression and survival outcome (recurrence-free/progression-free/overall/cancer-specific survival) are present only in European-American patients.ConclusionThe present results indicate that over-expression of Ki-67 is distinctly correlated with poor patient survival. Ki-67 may serve as a valuable biomarker for prognosis in BC patients, particularly in non-Asian BC patients. The results suggest no significant association between Ki-67 expression and BC prognosis in Asian patients. Further efforts are needed to fully clarify this relationship.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have shown that the poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) level is a promising indicator of breast cancer. However, its prognostic value remains controversial. The present meta-analysis evaluated the prognostic value of PARP expression in breast cancer.Materials and methodsEligible studies were retrieved from the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases through July 20, 2016. Studies investigating PARP expression as well as reporting survival data in breast cancer were included. Two independent reviewers carried out all literature searches. The pooled relative risk (RR) and hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were applied to assess the association between PARP expression and the clinicopathological features and survival outcome in breast cancer.ResultsA total of 3506 patients from eight eligible studies were included. We found that higher PARP expression indicated a worse clinical outcome in early stage breast cancer, with a HR of 3.08 (95% CI, 1.14-8.29, P = 0.03) for disease-free survival and a HR of 1.82 (95% CI, 1.20-2.76; P = 0.005) for overall survival. Moreover, increased PARP expression was significantly associated with higher nuclear grade (RR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.12-2.04; P = 0.008) in breast cancer. A similar correlation was detected in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC; RR, 1.81; 95% CI, 1.04-3.17; P = 0.04).ConclusionsOur findings indicated that elevated PARP expression correlated with worse prognosis in early stage breast cancer. Furthermore, high PARP expression was associated with higher nuclear grade and TNBC.
