Prognostic Role of Tenascin-C for Cancer Outcome: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prognostic value of tenascin-C in different types of cancers remains controversial. To clarify its prognostic value on overall survival rates, we have conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively assess the prognostic roles of tenascin-C for patients with cancer.

Methods

We systematically searched all published studies about the role of tenascin-C in cancers on PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase. The pooled hazard ratio with 95% confidence intervals was used to analyze the association between tenascin-C expression level and overall survival of patients with cancer. The pooled odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals was used to investigate the association between tenascin-C expression level and clinicopathologic features of patients with cance
