Abstract:
Objective To investigate the correlation of p16 gene and p21 gene expression abnormal- ity with the prognosis of bladder carcinoma.Methods Using the search terms“bladder neoplasm”,“prognosis”,“p16”or“p21”,the literature on the correlation of p16 gene and p21 gene expression abnor- mality with the prognosis of bladder carcinoma were searched from MEDLINE database,PubMed database, CBMdisc and China Academic Periodical database,and were evaluated by Meta-analysis with Dersimonian- Laird model.Results A total of 19 trials involving 1584 patients(positive rate of 40.4%)were identi- fied,including 12 trials of 975 patients(positive rate of 37.4%)on p16 gene expression abnormality and 7 trials of 609 patients(positive rate of 45.4%)on p21 gene expression abnormality.The combined relative hazard(RH)of p16 gene expression abnormality on the prognosis of bladder carcinoma,p21 gene expression abnormality on the prognosis of bladder carcinoma and both p16 gene and p21 gene expression abnormality on the prognosis of bladder carcinoma was 3.70(95% CI,3.42-3.99),3.01(95% CI,2.81-3.21)and 3.18(95% CI,3.01-3.35),respectively.Conclusions Both p16 gene and p21 gene expression abnor- malities are biomarkers for poor prognosis of bladder carcinoma.The detection of these biomarkers may be helpful in making the treatment strategy.
