Abstract
Introduction Molecular and genomic profiling in endometrial cancer is increasing popularity. L1 cell adhesion molecule (L1CAM) is frequently mutated in endometrial cancer. In this paper, we aim to evaluate the prognostic role of L1CAM in patients with stage I endometrial cancer. Methods We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis searching in PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, and Web of Science database to identify studies reporting the expression of L1CAM in endometrial cancer. The primary endpoint measure was to assess and evaluate the impact of L1CAM on survival outcomes. This study was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (PRISMA-P) statement. Results Five studies were included. The pooled results suggested that L1CAM expression influences survival outcomes in stage I endometrial cancer. High L1CAM expression correlated with worse disease-free survival (HR 4.11, 95% CI 1.02–16.59, p = 0.047) and overall survival (HR 3.62, 95% CI 1.32–9.31, p = 0.012).
