Diagnostic value of fibulin-3 for malignant pleural mesothelioma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Oncotarget 2016 December 21
BACKGROUND: Several studies have investigated the diagnostic value of fibulin-3 for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), but the results were various. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the diagnostic value of fibulin-3 for MPM.
RESULTS: Eight studies were included in this work. The overall sensitivity of blood fibulin-3 were 0.87 (95% CI, 0.58 - 0.97) and 0.89 (95% CI, 0.77 - 0.95), respectively. The overall sensitivity and specificity of PF fibulin-3 for MPM were 0.73 (95% CI, 0.54 - 0.86) and 0.80 (95% CI, 0.60 - 0.91), respectively. The area under curve of blood and pleural effusion (PF) Fibulin-3 were 0.94 (95% CI, 0.91 - 0.96) 0.83 (95% CI, 0.79 - 0.86), respectively.
METHODS: PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched up to July 29, 2016 to verify studies investigating the diagnostic value of fibulin-3 for MPM. The quality of eligible studies was assessed using the revised Quality Assessment for Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy tool (QUADAS-2). The overall sensitivity and specificity were pooled using a bivariate model.
CONCLUSION: Fibuoin-3 is a useful diagnostic marker for MPM.
