Owing to metastases and drug resistance, the prognosis of breast cancer is still dismal. Therefore, it is necessary to find new prognostic markers to improve the efficacy of breast cancer treatment. Literature shows a controversy between moesin (MSN) expression and prognosis in breast cancer. Here, we aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the prognostic relationship between MSN and breast cancer. Literature retrieval was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane. Two reviewers independently performed the screening of studies and data extraction. The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database including both breast cancer gene expression and follow-up datasets was selected to verify literature results. The R software was employed for the meta-analysis. A total of 9 articles with 3,039 patients and 16 datasets with 2,916 patients were ultimately included. Results indicated that there was a significant relationship between MSN and lymph node metastases (P < 0.05), and high MSN expression was associated with poor outcome of breast cancer patients (HR = 1.99; 95% CI 1.73-2.24). In summary, there is available evidence to support that high MSN expression has valuable importance for the poor prognosis in breast cancer patients.

A unified data repository of the National Cancer Institute (NCI)'s Genomic Data Commons (GDC) that enables data sharing across cancer genomic studies in support of precision medicine. The GDC supports several cancer genome programs at the NCI Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG), including The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Therapeutically Applicable Research to Generate Effective Treatments (TARGET), and the Cancer Genome Characterization Initiative (CGCI). The GDC Data Portal provides a platform for efficiently querying and downloading high quality and complete data. The GDC also provides a GDC Data Transfer Tool and a GDC API for programmatic access.
