| Sumario: | <h4>Background</h4>Golgi Phosphoprotein 3 (GOLPH3) has been implicated in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, the clinicopathological and prognostic roles of GOLPH3 in CRC remain undefined. We thus did a meta-analysis to assess GOLPH3 association with the clinicopathological characteristics of patients and evaluate the prognostic significance of GOLPH3 in CRC.<h4>Methods</h4>An electronic search for relevant articles was conducted in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, CNKI, and WanFang databases. Two independent reviewers searched all the literature and finished the data extraction and quality assessment. Odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to assess estimates. Stata software (version12.0) was employed to analyze the data.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 8 published studies were eligible (N = 723 participants). Meta-analysis revealed that GOLPH3 was found to be highly expressed in tumor tissues compared to that of adjacent colorectal tissues (OR, 2.63), and overexpression of GOLPH3 had significant relationship with advanced clinical stage (OR, 3.42). GOLPH3 expression was not correlated with gender (OR, 0.89), age (OR, 0.95), positive lymphatic metastasis (OR, 1.27), tumor size (OR, 1.12), poor differentiation of tumor (OR, 0.56) or T stage (OR, 0.70). Moreover, GOLPH3 overexpression was not associated with worse overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.14, 95% CI: 0.42-1.86, P>0.05) and disease-free survival (DFS) (HR = 0.80, 95% CI:-0.26-1.86, P>0.05).<h4>Conclusions</h4>GOLPH3 overexpression is correlated with tumor stage, which is an adverse clinicopathological characteristic of CRC. But, GOLPH3 can not serve as a useful biomarker in evaluating the progression of CRC. |
