Background. Claudin-1 plays an important part in maintaining the mucosal structures and physiological functions. Several studies showed a relationship between claudin-1 and colorectal cancer (CRC), but its prognostic significance is inconsistent. This meta-analysis assessed the prognostic value and clinical significance of claudin-1 in CRC. Materials and Methods. We retrieved eligible studies from PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Web of Science databases before February 10, 2020. The hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was applied to assess the correlation between claudin-1 and prognosis and clinical features. Heterogeneity was assessed by the Cochran Q test and I-square (I2), while publication bias was evaluated by the Begg test and Egger test. Test sequence analysis (TSA) was used to estimate whether the included studies’ number is sufficient. The stability of the results was judged by sensitivity analysis. Metaregression was utilized to explore the possible covariance which may impact on heterogeneity among studies. Results. Eight studies incorporating 1704 patients met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis showed that the high expression of claudin-1 was associated with better overall survival (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.28–0.76; P=0.002) and disease-free survival (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.29–0.65; P=0.003) in CRC. In addition, we found that claudin-1 was related to the better tumor type (n=6; RR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.49–0.73; P<0.00001), negative venous invasion (n=4; RR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.70–0.95; P=0.001), and negative lymphatic invasion (n=4; RR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.74–0.92; P=0.0009). Conclusion. The increased claudin-1 expression in CRC is associated with better prognosis. In addition, claudin-1 was related to the better tumor type and the less venous invasion and lymphatic invasion.

Abstract Purpose To systematically evaluate the correlation between PD-L1 expression and clinicopathological features and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods Seven 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. Results A 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)). Conclusion PD-L1 expression independently predicted a poor prognosis of CRC.

Background Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) has been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, the clinicopathological and prognostic roles of GOLPH3 in CRC remain undefined. We thus did a meta-analysis to assess GOLPH3 association with the clinicopathological characteristics of patients and evaluate the prognostic significance of GOLPH3 in CRC. Methods An electronic search for relevant articles was conducted in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, CNKI, and WanFang databases. Two independent reviewers searched all the literature and finished the data extraction and quality assessment. Odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess estimates. Stata software (version12.0) was employed to analyze the data. Results A total of 8 published studies were eligible (N = 723 participants). Meta-analysis revealed that GOLPH3 was found to be highly expressed in tumor tissues compared to that of adjacent colorectal tissues (OR, 2.63), and overexpression of GOLPH3 had significant relationship with advanced clinical stage (OR, 3.42). GOLPH3 expression was not correlated with gender (OR, 0.89), age (OR, 0.95), positive lymphatic metastasis (OR, 1.27), tumor size (OR, 1.12), poor differentiation of tumor (OR, 0.56) or T stage (OR, 0.70). Moreover, GOLPH3 overexpression was not associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.14, 95% CI: 0.42–1.86, P>0.05) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 0.80, 95% CI:-0.26–1.86, P>0.05). Conclusions GOLPH3 overexpression is correlated with tumor stage, which is an adverse clinicopathological characteristic of CRC. But, GOLPH3 can not serve as a useful biomarker in evaluating the progression of CRC.

Preoperative serum albumin has been considered to be closely correlated with the prognosis of various cancers, including urothelial carcinoma (UC). However, to date, this conclusion remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis is to investigate the prognostic significance of preoperative serum albumin in UC. A literature search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library up to 4 July 2017. Herein, a total of 15506 patients from 23 studies were enrolled in our meta-analysis. Decreased preoperative serum albumin level predicted poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.44–2.45, P<0.0001), cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR = 2.03, 95% CI: 1.42–2.90, P=0.0001), recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.85, 95% CI: 1.15–2.97, P=0.01), 30-day complications (30dCs) after surgery (odds ratio (OR) = 1.93, 95% CI: 1.16–3.20, P=0.01), and 90-day mortality after surgery (OR = 4.24, 95% CI: 2.20–8.16, P<0.001). The subgroup analyses indicated that low preoperative serum albumin level is still positively associated with a worse prognosis of UC based on ethnicity, cut-off value, tumor type, analyses type, and sample size. Our meta-analysis indicated that reduced preoperative serum albumin level was a predictor of poor prognosis of UC.

The prognostic value of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 460 (LINC00460) overexpression in human solid malignant tumours remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted the meta-analysis to systematically review and assess the evidence for the correlation between LINC00460 overexpression and clinicopathological features and overall survival (OS) of patients with solid malignant tumour. An electronic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CNKI, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biological Medical Literature database and WanFang database was applied to select eligible articles. Pooled ORs or HRs with their 95% CIs were calculated to estimate the effects. 9 eligible studies with a total of 935 patients were enrolled in this meta-analysis. The results revealed that high LINC00460 expression was associated with positive lymph node metastasis (positive vs negative: OR=2.97, 95% CI 1.74 to 5.05, p=0.812), advanced tumour-node-metastasis stage (III+IV vs I+II: OR=2.82, 95% CI 1.64 to 4.85, p=0.193) and poorer differentiation (high vs low: OR=0.60, 95% CI 0.36 to 0.99, p=0.569). Additionally, the overexpression of LINC00460 could predict a poorer OS (HR=1.57, 95% CI 1.39 to 1.77) and the shorter disease-free survival (HR=2.32, 95% CI 1.25 to 4.31). Furthermore, according to subgroup analysis and meta-regression results, the heterogeneity of current meta-analysis may be attributed to the differences of cancer type and follow-up months. High expression of LINC00460 could predict poor prognosis in patients with solid malignant tumour. LINC00460 may serve as potential prognostic biomarker for clinical outcomes in various human solid malignant tumours.

Abstract Background: CD44 is the primary receptor for hyaluronic acid and serves as a marker for cancer stem cells. CD44v9 is one of CD44’s variants and takes part in cancer’s growth and metastasis. However, the prognostic roles and clinical features of CD44v9 in cancers remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to summarize the prognostic significance and clinical features of CD44v9 in human solid cancers.Methods: we systematically searched all of related studies in PubMed, the Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane library up to June 2020. We analyzed the pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) to assess the prognostic functions and clinical features of CD44v9 in various human solid cancers.Results: In this meta-analysis, we included 1705 cancer patients among 12 studies. Results indicated that high expression of CD44v9 was significantly related to poorer overall survival (OS) (HR=1.60, 95%CI 1.28-1.99, P<0.0001), recurrence-free survival/progression-free survival/disease-free survival (RFS/PFS/DFS).( HR=1.81, 95%CI 1.16-2.84, P=0.009) and disease-specific survival/cancer-specific survival (DSS/CSS) (HR=2.93, 95%CI 1.69-5.10, P<0.001). At the same time, we also found that high expression of CD44v9 increased the possibility of lymphoid infiltrates (OR=1.59, 95%CI 1.16-2.20, P=0.005), vascular invasion (OR=1.57, 95%CI 1.11-2.22, P=0.010) and higher TNM stage (OR=1.63, 95%CI 1.19-2.23, P=0.002).Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that CD44v9 overexpression is associated with worse OS, RFS/PFS/CFS and DSS/CSS in patients with solid cancers, which might be a biomarker in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancers in the future.

Abstract Background Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as pivotal regulators in osteosarcoma tumorigenesis and progression, but their prognostic and diagnostic significance remain unclear. Herein, we aimed to perform an updated meta-analysis to explore the clinical, diagnostic and prognostic values of circRNAs in osteosarcoma. Methods Several databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus and Cochrane Library, were systematically searched up to Mar 10, 2020. Eligible studies regarding the relationship between circRNAs levels and clinicopathological, diagnostic and prognostic values in osteosarcoma patients were included in this study. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to measure clinical characteristics, while hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs were adopted to assess overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). Results Overall, 26 relevant studies involving 1,652 patients with osteosarcoma were enrolled, with eighteen studies on clinicopathological parameters, ten on diagnosis and eighteen on prognosis. For clinical parameters, overexpression of oncogenic circRNAs was intimately correlated with larger tumor size (P <0.00001), advanced Enneking stage (P <0.00001), poor differentiation (P =0.0001), and distant metastasis (DM) (P <0.00001). In contrast, the downregulated circRNAs showed negative correlation with Enneking stage (P=0.002) and DM (P<0.0001). For the diagnostic values, the summary area under the curve (AUC) of circRNA for the discriminative efficacy between osteosarcoma patients and non-cancer counterparts was estimated to be 0.86 (95% CI: 0.83-0.89), with a weighted sensitivity of 0.80 (95% CI: 0.74-0.84), specificity of 0.80 (95%: 0.75-0.84), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) of 15.48 (10.85-22.10), respectively. For the prognostic significance, oncogenic circRNAs had poor OS (HR=1.92, 95% CI: 1.68-2.19) and DFS (HR=2.65, 95% CI: 2.02-3.49), while elevated expression of tumor-suppressor circRNAs were closely related to longer OS (HR=0.44, 95% CI: 0.28-0.69). Conclusions Taken together, our study showed that aberrantly expressed circRNA signatures could serve as potential predictive indicators in diagnosis and prognosis in patients with osteosarcoma.

Previous studies on the prognostic impact of survivin expression in gastrointestinal (GI) cancer have yielded inconsistent results. This study was initiated to assess the relationship between survivin expression and overall survival (OS) or disease free survival (DFS) in GI cancer patients. We applied system literature searches on EMBASE, PubMed, Web of science, and the Cochrane library to conduct this up-to-date meta-analysis. Thirty studies with totally 3622 GI cancer patients were collected. The prevalence of high survivin expression in GI cancer was 0.57 (95% CI: 0.51-0.63). High survivin expression was significantly associated with shorter OS (HR 1.57, 95% CI: 1.42-1.74) and DFS (HR 1.38, 95% CI: 1.21-1.58). Subgroup analysis also showed significant association between high survivin expression and poorer OS or DFS in gastric cancer or colorectal cancer. In summary, our study indicated that high survivin expression was related to poor prognosis in GI cancer. Well-designed studies with large sample and more convincing data are needed to confirm our conclusion.

BackgroundThe pretreatment prognostic nutritional index (PNI) is correlated with poor prognosis in several malignancies. However, the prognostic role of PNI in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains unclear. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the prognostic significance of PNI in patients with RCC.MethodsWe searched the PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases up to February 2021. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to estimate correlation between PNI and survival endpoints in RCC.ResultsTen studies with 4,908 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results indicated that a low PNI associated with poor overall survival (HR = 2.10, 95% CI = 1.67–2.64, p&lt;0.001), shorter progression-free survival, disease-free survival, recurrence-free survival (HR = 1.99, 95% CI = 1.67–2.36, p&lt;0.001), and poor cancer-specific survival (HR = 2.95, 95% CI = 1.61–5.39, p&lt;0.001). Additionally, the prognostic ability of PNI was not affected by subgroup analysis factors.ConclusionThe meta-analysis indicated that low PNI associated with shorter survival outcomes in patients with RCC. Therefore, PNI could be used as an effective prognostic indicator in RCC.

Abstract Background The prognostic value of pre-treatment platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in patients with urothelial carcinoma (UC) remains controversial. Therefore, this meta-analysis aimed to identify the prognostic impact of PLR on UC. Methods The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to summarize the correlations between PLR and overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), disease-free survival (DFS), and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% CIs were used to measure the association between PLR and tumor clinicopathological factors. Results The meta-analysis included 15 studies published from 2015 to 2019 with a total of 5354 patients. Overall, a high PLR was correlated to poorer PFS (HR = 1.81, 95% CI 1.28–2.56, p = 0.001) and DFS (HR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.31–2.16, p < 0.001) but not poor OS (HR = 1.23, 95% CI 0.95–1.59, p = 0.124) or CSS (HR = 1.000, 95% CI 0.998–1.002, p = 0.919) in UC. In addition, an elevated PLR was correlated with patient age > 65 years (OR = 1.72, 95% CI 1.25–2.38, p = 0.001) and hypertension (OR = 1.48, 95% CI 1.01–2.18, p = 0.046). However, no significant association was observed between PLR and sex (OR = 0.79, 95% CI 0.56–1.14, p = 0.206) or diabetes (OR = 1.29, 95% CI 0.77–2.15, p = 0.333). Conclusions Our results demonstrated a significant correlation between elevated PLR and poor prognosis in UC. The prognostic role of PLR may help guide the management and prognostication of UC patients.
