Abstract
Recent studies have indicated an association between hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) expression and poor prognosis in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); however, definitive evidence of this association is yet to be obtained. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the association of HIF-1α expression with clinicopathological characteristics and overall survival (OS) of patients with OSCC. A literature search for relevant studies published in English language as of February 05, 2016, was performed on PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases. Eighteen studies with a combined study population of 1474 patients with OSCC are included in the meta-analysis. Odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated using random-effects model or fixed-effects model. HIF-1α overexpression was significantly associated with larger tumor size (OR = 2.28, 95% CI = 1.49-3.50, P = 0.017), advanced TNM stage (OR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.50-3.49, P = 0.158), and lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.05, 95% CI = 1.19-3.53, P < 0.001), but not with poor differentiation (OR = 1.21, 95% CI = 0.55-2.64, P = 0.024). These results demonstrated an association between HIF-1α expression and biological behavior...Continue Reading
