Abstract BackgroundRecent studies have shown that MicroRNAs can be used as potential biomarkers to the prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Hence, we conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic role of microRNA let-7 in NSCLC patients.MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, Medline and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant studies. Eligible studies were met specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Stata 15.1 was used to calculate the pooled parameters.ResultsA total of 11 studies involving 2278 NSCLC patients were included in this meta-analysis. Subgroup analyses established that the heterogeneity was connected with ethnicity and follow-up time. The results suggested that the low expression of microRNA let-7 indicates a poor overall survival rate, with a hazard ratio value of 0.99 (95% CI: 0.64-1.34, P <0.05).ConclusionsLow expression of microRNA let-7 is closely related to the poor prognosis of NSCLC, so microRNA let-7 may become a new biomarker to evaluate the prognosis of NSCLC patients.

Aim: To evaluate the prognostic role of EGFR mutations in patients with multi-site metastases from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients & methods: A total of 215 advanced NSCLC patients with multi-site metastases were included. The overall survival (OS) was the primary end point. Results: EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) significantly improved the OS in patients with brain metastases (p = 0.031) and bone metastases (p = 0.048). Meanwhile, it prolonged the OS in patients with lung or adrenal metastases, but not in patients with liver metastases. However, in patients without liver metastases, EGFR TKIs significantly improved the OS (p < 0.001). Conclusion: EGFR TKIs improved the prognosis in NSCLC patients with brain, bone, lung and adrenal metastases, but not in patients with liver metastases.
