- Abstract
<bold>Purpose: </bold>P27(kip1) is a negative cell cycle regulator that plays an important role in tumor suppression. Deregulation of p27(kip1) is commonly observed in many human cancers. Numerous studies about p27(kip1) are reported in clinical patients despite variable data for the prognostic of p27(kip1) expression. Here we report a meta-analysis of the association of p27(kip1) expression with the survival of ovarian cancer.<bold>Methods: </bold>PubMed and Web of science were searched for studies evaluating expression of p27(kip1) and prognostic in ovarian cancer. Published data were extracted and computed into odds ratios (ORs) for death at 3 and 5 years. Data were pooled using the random-effect model. All statistical tests were two-sided.<bold>Results: </bold>Analysis included 9 studies: six studies were reported in European, three studies were reported in American, and one study was reported in Asian. Loss of p27(kip1) was associated with worse overall survival (OS) at both 3 years [OR = 2.61, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.95-3.49, p < 0.05] and 5 years (OR = 3.01, 95 % CI 2.17-4.17, p < 0.05). Among studies with different ethnicity (European, American and Asian), the results showed a more significant association in European, including Italy, Germany, and Greece [for both 3-year OS (OR = 3.53, 95 % CI 2.37-5.26) and 5-year OS (OR = 3.66, 95 % CI 2.30-5.83)].<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Loss of p27(kip1) is associated with worse survival in ovarian cancer. The development of strategies target p27(kip1) could be a reasonable therapeutic approach.
