The prognostic and clinicopathological role of pretreatment thrombocytosis in cancer has been widely studied, but conclusions in endometrial cancer (EnCa) remain controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the pathologic and prognostic impacts of pretreatment thrombocytosis in patients with EnCa. We searched PubMed, Embase, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect and China National Knowledge Infrastructure databases. Pooled HR or OR with their 95% CIs were applied to assess the association of pretreatment thrombocytosis with survival outcomes and clinical parameters of EnCa patients. In total, 10 studies containing 2,995 cases of EnCa met the criteria. The results suggested that pretreatment thrombocytosis was significantly associated with high International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (pooled OR 3.45, 95% CI 1.68-7.08, =0.001), poor tumor differentiation (pooled OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.22-3.29, =0.006), lymph-vascular space invasion (pooled OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.35-3.07, =0.001); myometrial invasion (pooled OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.39-3.32, =0.001); cervical involvement (pooled OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.56-4.15, =0.000) and lymph node metastasis (OR 3.15, 95% CI 1.71-5.80, =0.001). No significant difference existed between pretreatment thrombocytosis and overall survival (=0.012), cancer/disease-specific survival (=0.07) or disease-free survival (=0.25). pretreatment thrombocytosis was associated with advanced clinicopathological features in patients with EnCa, which may serve as a potential therapeutic target for EnCa.
癌症治疗前血小板增多症的预后及临床病理作用已得到广泛研究,但子宫内膜癌(EnCa)的相关结论仍存在争议。因此,我们进行了一项荟萃分析,以评估治疗前血小板增多症对EnCa患者的病理及预后影响。我们检索了PubMed、Embase、SpringerLink、ScienceDirect和中国知网数据库。采用合并的HR或OR及其95%置信区间来评估治疗前血小板增多症与EnCa患者生存结局及临床参数之间的关联。总共10项研究包含2995例EnCa病例符合标准。结果表明,治疗前血小板增多症与国际妇产科联盟(FIGO)高分期(合并OR 3.45,95%置信区间1.68 - 7.08,P = 0.001)、肿瘤分化差(合并OR 2.00,95%置信区间1.22 - 3.29,P = 0.006)、淋巴血管间隙浸润(合并OR 2.04,95%置信区间1.35 - 3.07,P = 0.001)、肌层浸润(合并OR 2.14,95%置信区间1.39 - 3.32,P = 0.001)、宫颈受累(合并OR 2.54,95%置信区间1.56 - 4.15,P = 0.000)及淋巴结转移(OR 3.15,95%置信区间1.71 - 5.80,P = 0.001)显著相关。治疗前血小板增多症与总生存期(P = 0.012)、癌症/疾病特异性生存期(P = 0.07)或无病生存期(P = 0.25)之间无显著差异。治疗前血小板增多症与EnCa患者的晚期临床病理特征相关,这可能成为EnCa的一个潜在治疗靶点。
