Clinicopathological and prognostic significance of long non-coding RNA-ROR in cancer patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Accumulating studies have focused on the clinicopathological and prognostic roles of large intergenic noncoding RNA regulator of reprogramming (lincRNA-ROR) in cancer patients. However, the results were controversial and unconvincing. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the associations between lincRNA-ROR expression and survival and clinicopathological characteristics of cancer patients.

Methods

Hazard ratios for overall survival and disease-free survival with their 95% confidence intervals were used to evaluate the role of lincRNA-ROR expression in the prognosis of cancer patients. Risk ratios with their 95% confidence intervals were applied to assess the relationship between lincRNA-ROR expression and clinicopathological parameters.

Results

A total of 18 articles with 1441 patients were enrolled. Our results indicated that high lincRNA-ROR expression was significant associated with tumor size, TNM stage, clinical stage, lymph metastasis, metastasis and vessel invasion of cancer patients. There were no correlations between high lincRNA-ROR expression and age, gender, infiltration depth, differentiation, serum CA19-9 and serum CEA of cancer patients. In addition, high lincRNA-ROR expression was associated with shorter Overall survival and disease-free survival on both univariate and multivariate analyses. Meanwhile, there were no obvious publication bias in our meta-analysis.

Conclusions

LincRNA-ROR expression was associated with the clinicopathological features and outcome of cancer patients, which suggested that lincRNA-ROR might serve as a potential biomarker for cancer prognosis.

Ethical approval

Since this study is on the basis of published articles, ethical approval and informed consent of patients are not required.
