To evaluate c-met expression as a reliable prognostic indicator for survival in esophageal cancer patients.
Eligible articles from relevant studies or databases were retrieved via systematical search. The association between c-met expression and survival results was evaluated by pooled effect in esophageal cancer patients. A fixed-effects or random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled risk ratios (RRs) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).
13 studies were up to the selection criteria. Our meta-analysis indicated that c-met positive expression correlated with lower overall survival (RR = 0.40; 95%CI: 0.25-0.63), disease-free-survival (RR = 0.30; 95%CI: 0.21-0.44), disease specific survival (RR = 0.53; 95%CI: 0.35-0.80) in esophageal cancer patients.
C-met positive expression indicates a poor prognosis in esophageal cancer patients. Further studies are required to confirm our result.
评估c-met表达作为食管癌患者生存的可靠预后指标。
通过系统检索从相关研究或数据库中获取符合条件的文章。通过汇总效应评估食管癌患者中c-met表达与生存结果之间的关联。采用固定效应或随机效应模型计算汇总风险比(RRs)及相应的95%置信区间(CIs)。
13项研究符合入选标准。我们的荟萃分析表明,c-met阳性表达与食管癌患者较低的总生存期(RR = 0.40;95%CI:0.25 - 0.63)、无病生存期(RR = 0.30;95%CI:0.21 - 0.44)、疾病特异性生存期(RR = 0.53;95%CI:0.35 - 0.80)相关。
c-met阳性表达表明食管癌患者预后不良。需要进一步研究来证实我们的结果。
