Abstract
Background: Overexpression of Aurora B is linked to poor prognosis in various malignancies; however, its prognostic role remains debatable. Conducting a meta-analysis is essential to reach a definitive conclusion.
Methods: Various databases were searched. Aurora B protein expression was assessed for prognostic significance using pooled hazard ratio (HR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Meta-regression and subgroup analysis identified the source of heterogeneity.
Results: The study comprised 1384 cancer patients from 10 articles. The result with multivariate data (pooled HR=1.18, 95% CI= 0.71-1.95, p=0.52, I²=83%) and univariate data (pooled HR=1.81, 95% CI=0.92, 3.57, p=0.09, I2=89%) showed that increased Aurora B expression was not linked with poor overall survival (OS). Subgroup analysis showed that sample size, follow-up time, cut-off value, non-Chinese patients, antibody source were not associated with unfavorable OS.
Conclusions: Aurora B expression could not be used as a prognostic marker in cancer.
期刊介绍:
Tumori Journal covers all aspects of cancer science and clinical practice with a strong focus on prevention, translational medicine and clinically relevant reports. We invite the publication of randomized trials and reports on large, consecutive patient series that investigate the real impact of new techniques, drugs and devices inday-to-day clinical practice.
