Abstract

Introduction: Previous studies demonstrated that MicroRNA-92a (miR-92a) was significantly differential expressed between colorectal cancer (CRC) patients and control cohorts, which provide timely relevant evidence for miR-92a as a novel promising biomarker in the colorectal cancer patients. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate potential diagnostic value of plasma miR-92a. Methods: Relevant literatures were collected in PubMed, Embase, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Technology of Chongqing (VIP), and Wan Fang Data. Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) for miR-92a in the diagnosis of CRC were pooled using random effects models. Summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve analysis and the area under the curve (AUC) were used to estimate the overall test performance. Results: This Meta-analysis included six studies with a total of 521 CRC patients and 379 healthy controls. For miR-92a, the pooled sensitivity, specificity and DOR to predict CRC patients were 76% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 72%–79%), 64% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 59%–69%) and 8.05 (95% CI: 3.50–18.56), respectively. In addition, the AUC of miR-92a in diagnosis CRC is 0.7720. Conclusions: MicroRNA-92a might be a novel potential biomarker in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer, and more studies are needed to highlight the theoretical strengths.
