Popis: Background: Prostate tumor overexpressed-1 (PTOV1) was firstly depicted as gene and protein overexpressed in prostate cancers and preneoplastic lesions of high-grad intraepithelial neoplasia. Recently, people have paid recent attention to the oncogenic PTOV1 protein as a regulator with various cellular functions and pathways that tend to enhance cell growth and self-renewal in numerous cancer cell types. Its prognostic role in cancers remains controversial. Methods: Eligible studies are identified by comprehensively searching literature in all available databases. The associations between PTOV1 expression and overall survival, disease-free survival, relapse-free survival, progression-free survival, and clinicopathological characteristics are estimated by employing hazard ratios and the confidence intervals of 95%. STATA 12.0 software was adopted to perform the meta-analysis. Results: This study will provide high-quality synthesis to evaluate the associations between PTOV1 expression and overall survival, disease-free survival /relapse-free survival , progression-free survival, and clinicopathological features. Conclusion: The study will provide updated evidence to assess whether the expression of PTOV1 is in association with poor prognosis in patients with cancers.
