High Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Expression Does Relate to Poor Survival in Solid Cancers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a DNA damage repair protein, and its inhibitors have shown promising results in clinical trials. The prognostic significance of PARP is inconsistent in studies of various cancers. In the present study, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to revea...

Subgroup analyses showed that PARP overexpression was significantly related to poor OS in patients with breast cancers (HR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.28–1.49, <i>p</i> < 0.001), ovary cancers (HR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.10–1.33, <i>p</i> = 0.001), lung cancers (HR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.29–3.45, <i>p</i> = 0.003), and liver cancers (HR = 3.29, 95% CI = 1.94–5.58, <i>p</i> < 0.001).
