Aim: The clinicopathological and prognostic significance of C-MYC dysregulation (amplification or overexpression) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed this meta-analysis to elucidate this relationship. Materials & methods: Available studies were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library, and ten studies with a total of 1432 patients were included in this meta-analysis. Results: Pooled results showed that C-MYC dysregulation was significantly associated with poor overall survival (hazard ratio: 1.405 [95% CI: 1.170–1.639]; p < 0.001) and lymph node metastasis (odds ratio: 1.798 [95% CI: 1.125–2.873]; p = 0.014). Subgroup analysis confirmed the results and more prominent predictive effects were observed in the C-MYC amplification group. Conclusion: C-MYC dysregulation is a promising biomarker for ESCC prognosis.
