Unveiling the Prognostic and Clinicopathological Impact of circPVT1 in Solid Tumors: Insights from a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
- A meta-analysis examined the significance of circPVT1 in solid tumors, revealing its correlation with poor overall survival and aggressive tumor traits.
- CircPVT1, a circular RNA derived from the PVT1 gene locus, plays a vital role in cell regulation and oncogenic pathways.
- Data from 27 studies involving over two thousand patients across various solid cancers highlighted the prognostic value of circPVT1.
- Elevated circPVT1 expression was associated with decreased overall survival and advanced clinicopathological features in solid tumors.
- In lung cancer, high circPVT1 levels more than doubled the risk of mortality.
- CircPVT1's mechanisms include acting as a microRNA sponge and modulating gene expression, impacting tumor aggressiveness.
- Its stability and detectability in bodily fluids make circPVT1 a promising candidate for non-invasive diagnostic tools and targeted therapies.
- The study advocates for validation of circPVT1 applications through rigorous clinical trials for widespread clinical implementation.
- Targeting circPVT1 or its downstream effectors could disrupt oncogenic cascades and serve as a novel therapeutic approach.
- Integrating circPVT1 insights into oncology may optimize patient stratification and enhance clinical outcomes in personalized medicine.
