To investigate the role of thymidylate synthase (TS) as a predictive biomarker in patients with resected colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).
MATERIALS & METHODS: PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library were queried up to June 2017. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects model. Risk of bias was assessed using funnel plots.
Six eligible studies were included, comprising a total of 542 patients. Meta-analysis demonstrated a trend to reduced overall survival in patients with resected CRLM with TS overexpression, with a hazard ratio of 1.13 (95% CI: 0.99-1.29; p = 0.08). In three studies where patients received systemic fluorouracil, the pooled hazard ratio was 2.25 (95% CI: 1.37-3.71; p = 0.001).
TS appears to be a clinically relevant predictive biomarker in patients with resected CRLM receiving systemic 5-FU.
探讨胸苷酸合成酶(TS)作为预测生物标志物在结直肠癌肝转移(CRLM)患者中的作用。
检索 PubMed、EMBASE 和 Cochrane Library 截至 2017 年 6 月的数据。使用随机效应模型进行荟萃分析。使用漏斗图评估偏倚风险。
纳入 6 项符合条件的研究,共纳入 542 例患者。荟萃分析显示,TS 过表达的 CRLM 患者总生存率有降低的趋势,风险比为 1.13(95% CI:0.99-1.29;p=0.08)。在 3 项接受系统氟尿嘧啶治疗的研究中,汇总风险比为 2.25(95% CI:1.37-3.71;p=0.001)。
TS 似乎是接受氟尿嘧啶系统治疗的 CRLM 患者具有临床相关性的预测生物标志物。
