Meta-analysis of the diagnostic value of Wisteria floribunda agglutinin-sialylated mucin1 and the prognostic role of mucin1 in human cholangiocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is a widely used tumour marker for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). However, it is not a necessarily good CCA marker in terms of diagnostic accuracy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of Wisteria floribundaagglutinin-sialylated Mucin1 (WFA-MUC1) and the prognostic role of Mucin1 (MUC1) in human CCA.

Design

Meta-analysis.

Data sources

Studies published in PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure up to 11 October 2017.

Eligibility criteria

We included reports assessing the diagnostic capacity of WFA-MUC1 and the prognostic role of MUC1 in CCA. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of WFA-MUC1 and/or CA19-9 was described, a
