OBJECTIVE
To analyze the prognostic value of programmed death factor ligand 1 (PD-L1) in colorectal cancer.
METHODS
Electronic databases, such as PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane library, were searched to identify studies evaluating the PD-L1 expression and overall survival (OS) in these patients. Afterwards, the relevant data were extracted to perform the meta-analysis.
RESULTS
A total of 3481 patients were included in 10 studies. The combined hazard ratio (HR) was 1.22 (95%CI = 1.01-1.48, P = 0.04), indicating that high expression of PD-L1 was significantly correlated with poor prognosis of colorectal cancer. Apropos of clinicopathological features, the merged odds ratio (OR) exhibited that highly expressed PD-L1 was firmly related to lymphatic invasion (OR = 3.49, 95%CI = 1.54-7.90, P = 0.003) and advanced stage (OR = 1.77, 95%CI = 1.41-2.23, P < 0.00001), but not correlative with patients' gender, microsatellite instability, or tumor location.
CONCLUSION
The expression of PD-L1 can be utilized as an independent factor in judging the prognosis of colorectal cancer, and patients with advanced cancer or lymphatic invasion are more likely to express PD-L1. This conclusion may lay a theoretical foundation for the application of PD-1/PD-L1 immunoassay point inhibitors but still needs verifying by sizeable well-designed cohort studies.
目的
分析程序性死亡因子配体 1(PD-L1)在结直肠癌中的预后价值。
方法
检索电子数据库,如 PubMed、Web of Science、Embase 和 Cochrane 图书馆,以鉴定评估这些患者 PD-L1 表达与总生存期(OS)的研究。然后,提取相关数据进行荟萃分析。
结果
共纳入 10 项研究的 3481 例患者。合并的风险比(HR)为 1.22(95%CI=1.01-1.48,P=0.04),表明 PD-L1 高表达与结直肠癌预后不良显著相关。关于临床病理特征,合并的优势比(OR)表明,PD-L1 高表达与淋巴侵犯(OR=3.49,95%CI=1.54-7.90,P=0.003)和晚期(OR=1.77,95%CI=1.41-2.23,P<0.00001)显著相关,而与患者性别、微卫星不稳定性或肿瘤位置无关。
结论
PD-L1 的表达可作为判断结直肠癌预后的独立因素,晚期癌症或有淋巴侵犯的患者更可能表达 PD-L1。这一结论可能为 PD-1/PD-L1 免疫检测点抑制剂的应用奠定理论基础,但仍需要大样本精心设计的队列研究加以验证。
