Potential Role of MicroRNA-210 as Biomarker in Human Cancers Detection: A Meta-Analysis

Abstract EN

We conducted this meta-analysis aimed to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of miR-210 in human cancers.

A total of 673 cancer patients and 606 cancer-free individuals from 13 studies were contained in this meta-analysis.

The overall diagnostic results in our study showed that the pooled sensitivity was 0.70, specificity was 0.76, and the AUC was 0.80.

In addition, the PLR and NLR were 2.9 and 0.39, with DOR of 8.

After the outliner exclusion detected by sensitivity analysis, these parameters had minimal change, which confirmed the stability of our work.

The results in our studies showed that the miR-210 assay yielded relatively moderate accuracy in cancer patients and cancer-free individual differentiation.

More basic researches are needed to highlight its role as supplement in clinical treatment.
