“…22 studies investigated the impact of E-cadherin expression on overall survival (OS) [14]–[21], [23], [25]–[29], [31]–[36], and most of them assessed the clinicopathological parameters at the same time [14]–[20], [25], [29], [31], [33], [35]. Among these 22 studies, 17 studies evaluated patients in Asian [14]–[17], [19], [20], [23], [25], [26], [29], [31]–[36], five studies evaluated patients in Caucasian [18], [21], [27], [28], [30]. The percentage of reduced E-cadherin expression was more than 50% in 12 studies [15], [19], [20], [26]–[30], [32], [36], while 10 studies showed percentage of reduced E-cadherin expression was less than 50% [14], [16]–[18], [21], [23], [25], [33]–[35].…”
