Abstract:

Objective This meta-analysis aims to come to a judgement the clinical value of long non-coding RNA(LncRNA) as a prognostic marker and potential clinicopathological value in small cell lung cancer(SCLC).Methods A comprehensive search of available literature resources included PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, CQVIP Journal Database, and Chinese Biology Medicine database to study the association between LncRNA overexpression and prognosis for SCLC up to May 2020. Related information was screened and extracted from the qualified studies by two independent reviewers. After the quality evaluation, the statistical software STATA12.0 was used to perform Meta quantitative comprehensive analysis. Results A total of thirteen case-control studies including 1302 SCLC patients were involved. The results revealed that: LncRNA overexpression patients had poor disease stage (Odds ratio, [OR]=6.10, 95% confidence interval[CI] (4.69, 7.93), P<0.01), poorer chemosensitivity (OR=5.17, 95%CI[3.44, 7.77], P<0.01), poorer survival status (OR=5.96, 95%CI[4.22, 8.40], P<0.01), overall survival (OS) (hazard ratio, [HR]=3.33, 95%CI[2.65, 4.19], P<0.01) and progression-free survival (PFS) (HR=4.88, 95%CI[3.00, 7.94), P<0.01).Conclusion LncRNA overexpression can predict poor survival and poor clinicopathological features in SCLC patients, may be a potential prognostic marker. However, the above conclusion still needs to be supported by more high-quality studies.
