Prognostic value of dysadherin in cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide and novel prognostic factors are reported with increasing numbers. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses on cumulative research data are crucial in estimating the true prognostic value of proposed factors. Dysadherin (FXYD Domain Containing Ion Transport Regulator 5; FXYD5) is a cell membrane glycoprotein that modulates Na+, K+-ATPase activity and cell-cell adhesion. It is abundantly expressed in a variety of cancer cells, but only in a limited number of normal cells and its levels are increased in many different tumor types. The expression or level of dysadherin has been suggested as an independent predictor for metastasis and poor prognosis by number of studies, yet we lack a definitive answer. In this study, we systematically evaluated the pro
