ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This meta-analysis investigated the relationship between thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) expression and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to clarify whether TTF-1 can be a potential surrogate marker for EGFR mutation status in advanced NSLCL.METHODS:
A systematic searching of databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar, was performed to identify studies assessing the correlation of TTF-1 expression with EGFR mutations. From 17 studies, 9764 patients were included in the combined analysis of odds ratio (OR) for the correlation between TTF-1 expression and EGFR mutations.RESULTS:
Compared with NSCLCs showing negative TTF-1 expression, tumors harboring TTF-1 overexpression showed a significantly higher rate of EGFR mutations (OR = 5.19, 95% confidence interval 3.60â»7.47, p < 0.00001). This correlation was observed in both subgroups of East Asian (OR = 4.33, 95% CI 3.46â»5.41, p < 0.00001) and European patients (OR = 4.64, 95% CI 1.41â»15.28, p < 0.01). In addition, TTF-1 expression was significantly associated with EGFR mutations in exon 19 (OR = 4.63, 95% CI 2.89â»7.41, p < 0.00001) as well as exon 21 (OR = 3.16, 95% CI 1.04â»9.60, p = 0.04).CONCLUSIONS:
This meta-analysis demonstrates a significant correlation between TTF-1 expression and EGFR mutations in patients with NSCLC. The status of TTF-1 expression may be a biomarker to guide anticancer treatment in patients with NSCLC and unknown EGFR mutation status.Palavras-chave
