ABSTRACT
AIM:
To investigate the pooled association between estrogen receptor α( ESRα) rs2234693 poly-morphism and prostate cancer risk .METHODS:
A systematic literature search was performed to identify the related stud-ies (up to April 2014) in several online databases including PubMed , the CNKI and Wanfang online libraries .Odds ratios with 95%confidence intervals were used to calculate the strength of association in the random effect model .RESULTS:
A total of 20 studies including 4 623 cases and 9 850 controls were enrolled in the final meta-analysis.The results indicated that ESRαrs2234693 polymorphism was significantly associated with prostate cancer risk (P0.05 ) .CONCLUSION:
This meta-analysis suggests that ESRαrs2234693 polymorphism is significantly associated with prostate cancer risk , espe-cially in Caucasians .
