Prognostic and clinicopathological significance of long noncoding RNA MALAT-1 expression in patients with non-small cell lung cancer: A meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although expression of long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT-1) in tumor tissues has been assessed in several malignancies. However, the association between lncRNA MALAT-1 expression and prognosis or clinicopathological feature remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to verify whether lncRNA MALAT-1 expression was associated with prognosis or clinicopathological features in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

We searched Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, The Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang databases from inception to March, 1, 2020. The language restrictions were Chinese and English. The published literature on lncRNA MALAT-l expression a
