Abstract

Our goal was to explore the association of melanoma-associated antigen-A (MAGE-A) gene expression with clinicopathological parameters and survival rates in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had surgery. A systematic search of EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science and The Cochrane Library databases was performed through 20 April 2019. The combined risk ratios (RRs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to assess the association of MAGE-A gene expression with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with resected NSCLC, respectively. All statistical analyses were performed with Stata software, version 12.0. A total of 9 articles involving 1538 patients were included in our meta-analysis; most of the studies were from Asian countries. The results indicated that the expression of the MAGE-A gene was significantly correlated with lymph node metastases (RR 1.21, 95% CI 1.09-1.34; P = 0.001), high tumour-node-metastasis stage (RR 1.24, 95% CI 1.12-1.38; P < 0.001), histological type (squamous cell carcinoma) (RR 1.82, 95% CI 1.15-2.87; P = 0.01), poor overall survival (HR 2.11, 95% CI 1.73-2.57; P < 0.001) and cancer-specific survival (HR 1.76, ...Continue Reading
