Abstract
Objective: This study evaluated SQSTM1/p62 expression patterns and its prognostic value across multiple cancers, with a focus on nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Results description: SQSTM1/p62 showed significantly higher mRNA and protein levels in tumors versus normal tissues across cancer types. High SQSTM1/p62 expression correlated with poorer OS and DSS in multiple cancers. Among 86 NPC patients (median follow-up 46.8 months), high SQSTM1/p62 expression (69.8% vs CNP 45% in controls, P = 0.036) independently predicted reduced DSS (HR = 4.51, 95% CI: 1.40-14.52). The unadjusted and multivariable-adjusted models consistently revealed a stable relationship between SQSTM1/p62 expression and patient prognosis. No significant interaction was observed between SQSTM1/p62 expression and age, TNM stage, or treatment methods (induction chemotherapy, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy). In summary, elevated SQSTM1/p62 expression correlates with poor clinical outcomes in pancancer analyses and serves as an independent prognostic factor for NPC.

期刊介绍:
BMC Research Notes publishes scientifically valid research outputs that cannot be considered as full research or methodology articles. We support the research community across all scientific and clinical disciplines by providing an open access forum for sharing data and useful information; this includes, but is not limited to, updates to previous work, additions to established methods, short publications, null results, research proposals and data management plans.
