Abstract EN
Metastasis associated in colon cancer 1 (MACC1), a newly identified oncogene, has been associated with poor survival of cancer patients by multiple studies.
However, the prognostic value of MACC1 in digestive system neoplasms needs systematic evidence to verify.
Therefore, we aimed to provide further evidence on this topic by systematic review and meta-analysis.
Literature search was conducted in multiple databases and eligible studies analyzing survival data and MACC1 expression were included for meta-analysis.
Hazard ratio (HR) for clinical outcome was chosen as an effect measure of interest.
According to our inclusion criteria, 18 studies with a total of 2,948 patients were identified.
Pooled HRs indicated that high MACC1 expression significantly correlates with poorer OS in patients with digestive system neoplasms (HR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.49–2.53) as well as poorer relapse-free survival (HR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.33–2.82).
The results of subgroup studies categorized by methodology, anatomic structure, and cancer subtype for pooled OS were all consistent with the overall pooled HR for OS as well.
No publication bias was detected according to test of funnel plot asymmetry and Egger’s test.
In conclusion, high MACC1 expression may serve as a prognostic biomarker to guide individualized management in clinical practice for digestive system neoplasms.
