Abstract

The benefit of taxanes in the adjuvant setting for node-negative (N0) early breast cancer (EBC) has not yet been established. We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized adjuvant trials comparing docetaxel-containing versus non-taxane-containing regimens. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the incorporation of docetaxel improves disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in early stage breast cancer. Studies were retrieved by searching major databases and the proceedings of leading breast cancer conferences. We extracted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for DFS and OS and obtained pooled estimates using an inverse-variance model. Fourteen randomized phase III studies were included (25,067 patients). The pooled HR estimate was 0.84 (95% CI 0.78-0.89; P < 0.001) favoring docetaxel for DFS and 0.86 (0.78-0.94; P < 0.001) for OS. In N0 patients (4,274 patients), the pooled HR estimate for DFS was 0.86 (0.73-1.00; P = 0.05). The HR for OS was equal to 1 (0.75-1.34). The improvement in DFS with docetaxel-containing regimens was observed across all subgroups (age, under or over 50; number of involved nodes; hormone receptor or HER2 status (including triple negative status), or administration schedule (sequential or concomitant). The addition of docetaxel to a non-taxane-containing regimen improves DFS and OS in high risk EBC patients. The benefit in DFS was seen across all subgroups regardless of nodal status, age, hormone receptor or HER2 status (including triple negative status), or administration schedule.

Diagnostic value of circulating free DNA for the detection of EGFR mutation status in NSCLC: a systematic review and meta-analysis

http://www.nature.com/articles/srep06269 Abstract Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is a reliable and sensitive biomarker for EGFR-TKI therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, detection of EGFR mutation in tissues has obvious limitations. Circulating free DNA (cfDNA) has been reported as an alternative approach for the detection of EGFR mutations. This systematic review and meta-analysis was designed to assess the diagnostic performance of cfDNA, compared with tissues. True-positive (TP), false-positive (FP), false-negative (FN), and true-negative (TN) values were extracted or calculated for each study. Pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were calculated. A summary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) and area under curve (AUC) were used to evaluate the overall diagnostic performance. 20 eligible studies involving 2012 cases were included in this m...
