Elevated expression of CXCR4 and correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients: a meta-analysis

H. Wang, Xie, F., Hu, Z., and Chen, L., Elevated expression of CXCR4 and correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients: a meta-analysis, vol. 14, pp. 17893-17903, 2015.

The specific correlation between CXCR4 expression and survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been investigated independently; however, these have yielded inconsistent results. Therefore, we examined the exact relationship between CXCR4 expression and NSCLC in this meta-analysis. The bibliographic databases in English and Chinese were carefully searched and data regarding the prognostic value of CXCR4 and its association with pathological parameters of NSCLC were collected. Pooled odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were applied.
