Diagnostic value of combination of biomarkers for malignant pleural mesothelioma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Frontiers in Oncology(2023)
摘要
IntroductionEarly-stage accurate diagnosis of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has always been a formidable challenge. DNA and protein as biomarkers for the diagnosis of MPM have received considerable attention, and yet the outcomes are inconsistent.MethodsIn this study, a systematic search employing PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library to identify relevant studies from the first day of databases to October 2021. Moreover, we adopt the QUADAS-2 to evaluate the quality of eligible studies and Stata 15.0 and Review Manager 5.4 software programs to perform the meta-analysis. Additionally, bioinformatics analysis was performed at GEPIA for the purpose of exploring relationship between related genes and the survival time of MPM patients.ResultsWe included 15 studies at the DNA level and 31studies at the protein level in this meta-analysis. All results demonstrated that the diagnostic accuracy of the combination of MTAP + Fibulin-3 was the highest with the SEN 0.81 (95% CI: 0.67, 0.89) and the SPE 0.95 (95% CI: 0.90, 0.97). And the bioinformatics analysis indicated that the higher MTAP gene expression level was beneficial to enhance the survival time of MPM patients.DiscussionNonetheless, as a result of the limitations of the included samples, it may be necessary to conduct additional research before drawing conclusions.Systematic review registrationhttps://inplasy.com/inplasy-2022-10-0043/, identifier INPLASY2022100043.
