BackgroundThe possible role of BRAF(V600E) mutation in the diagnosis and prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains controversial. A systematic review to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic role of BRAF(V600E) mutation in patients with PTC is urgently needed. MethodsA systematic review of relevant literatures was performed in PubMed, EMBASE and CENTRAL. The incremental accuracy (IA) of fine needle aspiration biopsy plus BRAF(V600E) mutation analysis over fine needle aspiration biopsy alone, and the statistical data about the association of BRAF(V600E) mutation and the prognosis of PTC (risk ratios (RR) for dichotomous data, standard mean differences for continuous data and hazard ratios (HRs) for disease-free survival (DFS) were pooled. Subgroup analysis was performed to explain the heterogeneities. ResultsA total of 67 studies were included. The pooled IA was 2% (95% confidence interval (CI): 05-4%). The pooled RR for gender, multifocality, lymph node metastasis, extrathyroidal invasion and pathological stage was 111 (95% CI: 098-125), 117 (95% CI: 109-124), 136 (95% CI: 120-153), 160 (95% CI: 141-182), and 149 (95% CI: 133-168), respectively. The pooled standard mean differences for age and tumour size were 014 (95% CI: 004-023) and 021 (95% CI: 01-032), respectively. The pooled HR for DFS was 196 (95% CI: 162-237). Subgroup analysis showed that these statistical results were affected by the geographical background of patients, study design and detection methods. ConclusionsBRAF(V600E) mutation analysis can not only be used in the diagnosis of PTC, but can also predict its prognosis.
