Background: Studies exploring the association between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer have yielded mixed results. We conducted a meta-analysis of the published prospective cohort studies to have a clear understanding about this association. Methods: We searched the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception to December 31, 2016. Bibliographies were also reviewed for additional information. Random-effects model was used to calculate summary relative risk (SRR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Eighteen prospective cohort studies were part of this meta-analysis, involving 12,442 lung cancer cases with a median duration of follow-up of 5 years (range: 1.5-20 years). A history of COPD, emphysema or chronic bronchitis conferred SRRs of 2.06 (95% CIs: 1.50-2.85; n = 14 studies), 2.33 (95% CIs: 1.56-3.49; n = 4 studies) and 1.17 (95% CIs: 0.79-1.73; n = 3 studies), respectively. Stratification by COPD severity yielded SRR of 1.46 (95% CIs: 1.20-1.76) for mild, 2.05 (95% CIs: 1.67-2.52) for moderate and 2.44(95% CIs: 1.73-3.45) for severe COPD, respectively. There were similar risk estimations for never and ever smokers. The SRR was statistically higher for squamous cell cancer than that for adenocarcinoma and for small cell cancer of the lung (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This meta-analysis indicated a significantly increased risk of lung cancer for COPD, emphysema, but not for chronic bronchitis. For the prevention of lung cancer, it is of importance for early detection of COPD in lung cancer surveillance.
