“…A total of 2,534 patients from the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Poland, Japan, Sweden, Korea, Norway, Denmark, Italy, USA, China and Chinese Taiwan were diagnosed with a variety of cancers, including esophageal cancer [12,19,27], gastric cancer [16,25,28], colorectal cancer [8,20,29], rectal cancer [30], hepatocellular carcinoma [26], pancreatic cancer [11], lung cancer [13], breast cancer [15], diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) [18], bladder cancer [10], endometrial cancer [14,17], ovarian cancer [9,21,23,24] and prostate cancer[22]. In the primary reports, 11 studies showed a significant association between high miR-200c and poor prognosis [8,9,13,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22], 9 provided the opposite result [10,11,24,25,26,27,29,30] and 5 found no prognostic value of miR-200c for tumor patients [12,14,20,23,28]. The expression of miR-200c was most often detected in tumor tissue samples, while five studies tested it in plasma or serum [15,16,19,20,27].…”
