Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global health concern. This study aimed to investigate the role of ALU-based cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the diagnosis and prognosis of CRC.
We selected relevant literature from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, EMBASE, and Science Direct databases based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. 17 eligible studies were included in the final analysis (13 studies for diagnostic and 4 studies for prognostic meta-analysis). The search covered relevant publications up to July 1, 2024.
The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratios (DOR) of ALU-based cfDNA in CRC diagnosis were 0.81 (95% CI= [0.70, 0.89]), 0.90 (95% CI= [0.70, 0.96]), and 40.58 (95% CI= [17.87, 92.19]), respectively. The area under the ROC curve was 0.92 (95% CI= [0.89, 0.94]). Patients with higher concentrations of plasma/serum ALU-based cfDNA had poorer overall survival (OS) (pooled hazard ratio = 2.33 ([95% CI= [1.80, 3.03]).
The current evidence supports the utility of circulating ALU as a promising non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic tool for CRC. Furthermore, as a potential biomarker, ALU-based cfDNA could play a significant role in clinical application.
The evidence suggests that circulating ALU-based cell-free DNA (cfDNA) holds promise as a non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic tool for colorectal cancer, potentially enhancing clinical decision-making.

结直肠癌(CRC)是全球主要的健康问题。本研究旨在探讨基于ALU的游离DNA(cfDNA)在CRC诊断和预后中的作用。
我们根据严格的纳入和排除标准,从PubMed、Scopus、Web of Science、EMBASE和Science Direct数据库中筛选相关文献。最终分析纳入了17项符合条件的研究(13项用于诊断分析,4项用于预后的荟萃分析)。检索涵盖截至2024年7月1日的相关出版物。
基于ALU的cfDNA在CRC诊断中的合并敏感性、特异性和诊断比值比(DOR)分别为0.81(95%CI = [0.70, 0.89])、0.90(95%CI = [0.70, 0.96])和40.58(95%CI = [17.87, 92.19])。ROC曲线下面积为0.92(95%CI = [0.89, 0.94])。血浆/血清中基于ALU的cfDNA浓度较高的患者总生存期(OS)较差(合并风险比 = 2.33 [95%CI = [1.80, 3.03])。
目前的证据支持循环ALU作为一种有前景的CRC非侵入性诊断和预后工具的实用性。此外,作为一种潜在的生物标志物,基于ALU的cfDNA在临床应用中可能发挥重要作用。
证据表明,循环的基于ALU的游离DNA(cfDNA)有望成为结直肠癌的非侵入性诊断和预后工具,可能改善临床决策。
