Popis: Background: Many studies have been done to reported the value of SRY-related HMG-box Gene 2 (SOX2) in prognosis of solid tumors. But results were not particularly consistent among these studies because of the limitations of the small sample data. Methods: We searched relevant studies published before November 2018 by PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE. In this meta-analysis, hazard ratio (HR) values for overall survival (OS) were cumulatively pooled and quantitatively analyzed. Results: A meta-analysis based on 12 studies with 3318 patients was conducted to assess the potential correlation between SOX2 overexpression and OS in human solid tumors. A total of 12 studies (n = 3318) were assessed in the meta-analysis. It suggested that the high expression of SOX2 obviously indicates poor survival and prognosis in both univariate and multivariate analysis. In the univariate analysis, the combined HR for OS was 1.66 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.46–1.89, P
