The oncogenic potential of the Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2) is well known in the context of breast cancer however; its relationship with the development of Barrett's Esophagus (BE) and Esophageal Cancer (EC) is unclear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to determine the overall prevalence and survival of HER2+ in BE & EC.
Several databases were searched including article reference lists. Inclusion criteria required that studies measured HER2 positivity in subjects with BE or EC.
33 studies were included in the meta-analysis (10 BE & 23 EC studies). The prevalence of HER2+ was found to be 24% (95% CI: 15-36%) in BE and 26% (95% CI: 19-34%) in EC. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) had a higher ER of 32% (95% CI: 20-48%) in comparison with adenocarcinoma (ADC) with an ER of 21% (95% CI: 14-32%). Sub group analyses showed a high geographical variance, Asia was found to be the highest prevalent area with an ER 42% (95% CI: 22-64%). The difference in survival rate between groups HER2- & HER2+ was found to be 7 months.
Our results highlight a high prevalence of HER2+ in subjects with adenocarcinoma. HER2+ appears to decrease the survival time of EC patients.
人表皮生长因子受体 2(HER2)的致癌潜能在乳腺癌中是众所周知的;然而,其与 Barrett 食管(BE)和食管癌(EC)的发展的关系尚不清楚。本荟萃分析的目的是确定 BE 和 EC 中 HER2+的总体患病率和生存率。
搜索了多个数据库,包括文章参考文献列表。纳入标准要求研究测量 BE 或 EC 患者中 HER2 阳性率。
荟萃分析纳入了 33 项研究(10 项 BE 研究和 23 项 EC 研究)。BE 中 HER2+的患病率为 24%(95%CI:15-36%),EC 中为 26%(95%CI:19-34%)。与腺癌(ADC)相比,鳞状细胞癌(SCC)的 ER 更高,为 32%(95%CI:20-48%),而 ADC 的 ER 为 21%(95%CI:14-32%)。亚组分析显示出高地域差异,亚洲是发病率最高的地区,患病率为 42%(95%CI:22-64%)。HER2-和 HER2+组之间的生存率差异为 7 个月。
我们的结果强调了腺癌患者中 HER2+的高患病率。HER2+似乎降低了 EC 患者的生存时间。
