Diagnostic Value of Salivary miRNA in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancer: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Several studies have highlighted the diagnostic potential of salivary microRNA (miRNA) in head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize published studies and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of salivary miRNA in HNSCC detection. In this meta-analysis, we systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases for studies on miRNA and HNSCC diagnosis. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) with a summary receiver-operating… Show more

“…Saliva is an increasingly attractive body fluid in the search for disease biomarkers [29][30][31][32]45,61]. miRNAs exhibit remarkable stability in severe conditions, such as extended storage [24,29,32,62]. Zheng et al demonstrated that saliva is not affected by coagulation that could induce a release of miRNAs.…”

“…Despite the vast progress in the field of miRNAs as cancer biomarkers, the translation of results to a clinical setting is still challenging and usually lacks reproducibility [202]. However, research is still ongoing, and numerous miRNA molecules are investigated for their biomarker potential in many cancer types, including common and rare gynaecological [202,203], head and neck [204], gastrointestinal [205,206], and lung cancer [207]. Herein, the current knowledge regarding miRNAs as biomarkers for CC, which is the most associated with HPV, is summarized, and additional information for HNCs are provided.…”
