Prognostic value of survivin expression in breast cancer patients: a meta-analysis

Abstract: The prognostic role of survivin expression in breast cancer patients has been widely reported. However, controversy still remains. Thus, a meta-analysis was conducted to obtain a more precise estimation of the relationship between survivin expression and overall survival (OS) in breast cancer patients. Relevant articles were selected for further assessment by online search in PubMed, EMBASE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Pooled hazard ratios (HR) with 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI) were used… Show more

“…This is supported by data suggesting that the increase of this protein in cancer tissues is an unfavorable prognostic marker and is associated with increased risk of recurrence (19). The overexpression of survivin has been proposed as a predictive factor in determining the response to chemotherapy (20).…”

“…Despite the presence of XIAP, cIAP-1 cIAP-2 and survivin expression in breast cancer samples at diagnosis we did not confirmed theirs impact to patient's survival, besides the trend [26]. The prognostic value of XIAP in breast cancer patients was investigated by Zhang Y et al [27].…”

“…A positive relationship between survivin expression and p53 accumulation has been reported in many cancers such as lung, gastric, colorectal and pancreatic cancers 32–36. When comparing the results with the results of other meta-analyses analysing survivin in colorectal,37 breast,38 bladder,10 oesophageal9 and lung cancers,39 there were no inconsistent conclusions except with respect to oral squamous cell carcinoma 40. Furthermore, there are more potential genes or proteins that may increase or decrease survivin expression in RCC.…”
