MiR-205 as a promising biomarker in the diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer.

Oncotarget 2017 November 4
MicroRNA-205 (miR-205) was revealed as a novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for lung cancer, but the results in the published papers were inconsistent. This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic roles of miR-205 in patients with lung cancer. Totally, 16 eligible articles were included, among which 10 articles investigated the diagnostic value of miR-205, 5 articles examined its prognostic values, and 1 article studied both diagnostic and prognostic values. For the diagnostic meta-analysis, the pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and the overall area under the curve of miR-205 for patients with lung cancer were 0.88 (95% CI = 0.78 - 0.94), 0.78 (95% CI = 0.66 - 0.86), 4.00 (95% CI = 2.47 - 6.49), 0.16 (95% CI = 0.08 - 0.30), 25.86 (95% CI = 9.29 - 71.95), and 0.90 (95% CI = 0.87 - 0.92), respectively, indicating that miR-205 is a useful biomarker for diagnostic of lung cancer. The subgroup analysis further demonstrated that miR-205 had an excellent overall accuracy for detection with tissue samples compare with blood samples. For the prognostic meta-analysis, the pooled outcome of the disease-free survival and recurrence-free survival analyses revealed that increased miR-205 levels had a protective role in the prognosis of patients with lung cancer (pooled HR = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.78-0.96, z = 2.83, P = 0.005). In conclusion, miR-205 may be a promising biomarker for detection, predicting the recurrence of patients with lung cancer.
