Augmented expression of Ki-67 is correlated with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis for lung cancer patients: an up-dated systematic review and meta-analysis with 108 studies and 14,732 patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Lung cancer ranks as the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and we performed this meta-analysis to investigate eligible studies and determine the prognostic effect of Ki-67.

Methods

In total, 108 studies in 95 articles with 14,732 patients were found to be eligible, of which 96 studies reported on overall survival (OS) and 19 studies reported on disease-free survival (DFS) with relation to Ki-67 expression in lung cancer patients.

Results

The pooled hazard ratio (HR) indicated that a high Ki-67 level could be a valuable prognostic factor for lung cancer (HR?=?1.122 for OS, P?ConclusionsThis study highlights that the high expression of Ki-67 is clinically relevant in terms of the prognostic and clinicopathological characteristics for lung cancer. Nevertheless, more prospective well-designed studies are warranted to validate these findings.

Project description:BackgroundNeuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) is a group of rare tumors. Among which, gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (GEP-NEN) is the most common group. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified these tumors into three different grades (G1, G2, and G3) based on Ki-67 and mitotic rate, and updated the classification in 2019. Several previous studies proved that Ki-67 was related to tumor prognosis, but others still reported that Ki-67 had no predictive value for tumor prognosis. There are different conclusions between studies regarding the correlation between Ki-67 and tumor prognosis, and there is a lack of studies about this correlation of GEP-NENs. Further analysis is still needed to evaluate the prognostic value of Ki-67 in GEP-NENs, to provide reference for clinical decisions.MethodsA total of 303 studies were retrieved that included Ki-67, GEP-NENs, prognosis, survival, and other subject terms and keywords. We excluded studies that did not show complete Ki-67 index, number of patients and 5-year survival data available for meta-analysis, non-cohort studies, articles published before 2000 or not published in English. Fifteen studies were finally included to assess the value of Ki-67 in the prognosis of patients with GEP-NENs using a random-effects model.ResultsThe cumulative 5-year survival rate for GEP-NEN G1 (Ki-67 ≤2%), G2 (Ki-67 2-20%) and G3 (Ki-67 >20%) was 86%, 65%, 25% respectively. The 5-year survival rate of GEP-NEN G1 (Ki-67 <3%, first revised in WHO classification 2017, redefined WHO classification 2019) and G1 (Ki-67 ≤2%, WHO classification 2010) was 97% and 84% respectively.ConclusionsThe overall prognosis of GEP-NENs patients showed a decreasing trend with the increase of Ki-67, which confirmed the significance of Ki-67 index as a prognostic marker for the prognosis of GEP-NENs. Increasing the cut-off value of Ki-67 index for G1 grade from ≤2% to <3% according to WHO classification 2019 did not significantly decrease the 5-year survival rate.

Project description:Ki-67 is considered as one of prime biomarkers to reflect cell proliferation and immunohistochemical Ki-67 staining has been widely applied in clinical pathology. To solve the widespread controversy whether Ki-67 reactivity significantly predicts clinical prognosis of bladder carcinoma (BC), we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis by combining results from different literature. A comprehensive search was conducted in the Chinese databases of WanFang, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Chinese VIP as well as English databases of PubMed, ISI web of science, EMBASE, Science Direct, and Wiley online library. Independent studies linking Ki-67 to cancer-specific survival (CSS), disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were included in our meta-analysis. With the cut-off values literature provided, hazard ratio (HR) values between the survival distributions were extracted and later combined with STATA 12.0. In total, 76 studies (n?=?13,053 patients) were eligible for the meta-analysis. It was indicated in either univariate or multivariate analysis for survival that high Ki-67 reactivity significantly predicted poor prognosis. In the univariate analysis, the combined HR for CSS, DFS, OS, PFS, and RFS were 2.588 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.623-4.127, P?<?0.001), 2.697 (95%CI: 1.874-3.883, P?<?0.001), 2.649 (95%CI: 1.632-4.300, P?<?0.001), 3.506 (95%CI: 2.231-5.508, P?<?0.001), and 1.792 (95%CI: 1.409-2.279, P?<?0.001), respectively. The pooled HR of multivariate analysis for CSS, DFS, OS, PFS, and RFS were 1.868 (95%CI: 1.343-2.597, P?<?0.001), 2.626 (95%CI: 2.089-3.301, P?<?0.001), 1.104 (95%CI: 1.008-1.209, P?=?0.032), 1.518 (95%CI: 1.299-1.773, P?<?0.001), and 1.294 (95%CI: 1.203-1.392, P?<?0.001), respectively. Subgroup analysis of univariate analysis by origin showed that Ki-67 reactivity significantly correlated with all 5 clinical outcome in Asian and European-American patients (P?<?0.05). For multivariate analysis, however, the pooled results were only significant for DFS, OS, and RFS in Asian patients, for CSS, DFS, PFS, and RFS in European-American patients (P?<?0.05). In the subgroup with low cut-off value (<20%), our meta-analysis indicated that high Ki-67 reactivity was significantly correlated with worsened CSS, DFS, OS, PFS, and RFS on univariate analysis (P?<?0.05). For multivariate analysis, the meta-analysis of literature with low cut-off value (<20%) demonstrated that high Ki-67 reactivity predicted shorter DFS, PFS, and RFS in BC patients (P?<?0.05). In the subgroup analysis of high cut-off value (?20%), our meta-analysis indicated that high Ki-67 reactivity, in either univariate or multivariate analysis, significantly correlated with all five clinical outcomes in BC patients (P?<?0.05). The meta-analysis indicates that high Ki-67 reactivity significantly correlates with deteriorated clinical outcomes in BC patients and that Ki-67 can be considered as an independent indicator for the prognosis by the meta-analyses of multivariate analysis.
