Potential Risk Of Certain Cancers Among Patients With Periodontitis: A Supplementary Meta-Analysis Of A Large-Scale Population
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES(2020)
摘要
Background: Some studies have reported biological linkages between periodontitis and esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, kidney cancer, hematological malignancy, and melanoma of the skin. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the relationship between periodontitis and the aforementioned five cancers.Methods: Eligible studies on the association between periodontitis and the aforementioned five kinds of cancers were retrieved. The statistical analysis was conducted using Stata 12.0.Results: Ten articles (more than 100,000 samples for most cancers) were included. With statistical significance, participants with periodontitis might have enhanced risks of esophageal cancer (HR = 1.79, 95% CI: 1.15-2.79), prostate cancer (HR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.09-1.31), hematological malignancy (HR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.09-1.29), and melanoma of skin (HR = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.03-1.42), compared with those without periodontitis. However, the evidence regarding the correlation between periodontitis and the susceptibility to kidney cancer was lacking (HR=1.30, 95% CI: 0.96-1.76).Conclusions: The present meta-analysis revealed a potential link between periodontitis and esophageal cancer, prostate cancer, hematological malignancy, and melanoma of the skin. However, multi-center studies with large sample sizes and multivariable adjustments are still needed to support the conclusion.
