| Abstract | p62, as a scaffolding/adaptor protein, is involved in multiple physiological processes include inflammation, autophagy and mitosis. However, the influence of p62 in cancer patients has not been comprehensively investigated. Moreover, the prognostic value of p62 for the survival of patients with solid tumors remains controversial. In this present meta-analysis, twenty suitable articles were identified from PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science, Nature databases, including 4271 patients. A random-effect or fixed-effect model was adopted to correlate p62 expression with different outcome measured in entire tumors. Combined with results of hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), we concluded that higher expression of p62 is associated with poorer overall survival (OS) (HR: 2.22, 95% CI: 1.82–2.71, P < 0.05), disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.78–3.46, P < 0.05) and even certain clinicopathological parameters, such as lymph node metastasis (RR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.06–1.37) and clinical stages (RR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.12–1.45), in cancer patients. Consequently, our data showed that p62 might be an effective poor prognostic factor for patients with various solid tumors. |
