The prognostic value of Th17/Treg cell in cervical cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prognostic significance of Treg and Th17 cells, as well as their ratio (Th17/Treg), in cervical cancer remains a topic of debate. Our study aimed to clarify their association with patient survival and clinical outcomes in cervical cancer through a comprehensive meta-analysis.

Materials and methods

We conducted a comprehensive search in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science to identify eligible studies. Studies related to cervical cancer and involving Treg cells or Th17 cells were included. For prognostic analysis, we collected Hazard Ratio values of patient survival. For studies focusing on clinical characteristics, we selected mean and standard deviation values for further analysis. This study was registered at PROSPERO (ID:CRD42024546507).
