Meta-analysis Revisiting the Influence of and on Irinotecan Safety in Colorectal Cancer Patients
Overview
Affiliations
To evaluate the association between irinotecan safety and the gene polymorphism in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. The studies were systematically searched and identified from three databases (PubMed, Embase and The Cochrane Library) until 28 February 2023. The relationships were evaluated using pooled odds ratio (OR). A total of 30 studies out of 600 were included, comprising 4471 patients. was associated with a statistically significant increase in the OR for diarrhea (OR: 1.59, 95% CI = 1.24-2.06 in the additive model; OR = 3.24, 95% CI = 2.01-5.21 in the recessive model; and OR = 1.95, 95% CI = 1.42-2.69 in the dominant model) and neutropenia (OR = 1.70, 95% CI = 1.40-2.06 in the additive model; OR = 4.10, 95%CI = 2.69-6.23 in the recessive model; and OR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.61-2.31 in the dominant model). Subgroup analysis indicated consistent associations in both Asian and non-Asian populations. was associated with a statistically significant elevation in the OR for diarrhea (only in the recessive model, OR = 2.42; 95% CI = 1.14-5.11) and neutropenia (across all genetic models). The and alleles might be a crucial indicator for predicting irinotecan safety in CRC.
