Abstract

The methylation status of septin-9 gene in plasma has been developed as a promising biomarker to aid in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the overall diagnostic ability of septin-9 methylation for detection of CRC. Studies on the diagnostic performance of plasma septin-9 in CRC were searched from the online databases up to January 31st, 2017. Risk of bias among the studies was estimated according to the Quality Assessment of Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy included in the Systematic Reviews (QUADAS) II checklist. The aggregation of the effect sizes was enabled by utilizing a bivariate analysis model. A meta-regression test and influence analysis were conducted to determine the underlying sources of heterogeneity. According to the predefined criteria, 1,462 patients with CRC from 14 eligible trials were included. The quantitative meta-analyses showed that methylated septin-9 in plasma sustained a pooled sensitivity of 0.67 (95% CI, 0.61-0.73) and specificity of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.86-0.92) in discriminating CRC patients from cancer-free individuals, along with an area under the curve of 0.87. Moreover, the stratified analyses grouped by ethnicity demonstrated that methylayted septin-9 testing achieved a better sensitivity of 0.72 (95% CI, 0.68-0.76) in the European-based population group and a higher specificity of 0.90 (95% CI, 0.88-0.92) in the Asian-based population group. Plasmic methylated septin-9 suggests a promising diagnostic efficacy in confirming CRC. However, more studies are required to confirm our findings.
