Objective To systematically review the correlation between Survivin expression and prostate cancer, as well as its clinicopathologic features in Chinese population. Methods Such databases as PubMed, EMbase, CBM, CNKI, VIP and WanFang Data were electronically searched from inception to November, 2015 to collect case-control studies about the correlation between Survivin expression and prostate cancer, as well as its clinically pathologic characteristics in Chinese population. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 32 case-control studies were included, involving 1613 prostate cancer cases, 708 benign prostatic hyperplasia cases, and 93 controls. The results of meta-analysis showed that the prostate cancer group had a higher Survivin expression level when compared with the benign prostatic hyperplasia group (OR=32.95, 95% CI 19.88 to 54.63, P<0.00001) or the control group (OR=75.78, 95% CI 26.97 to 212.98, P<0.00001). Moreover, the expression level of Survivin was higher in the low and medium differentiation group than in the high differentiation group (OR=4.45, 95% CI 3.13 to 6.32, P<0.00001), higher in the stage of C+D than in the stage of A+B (OR 5.42, 95% CI 2.91 to10.10, P<0.00001), and higher in the prostate cancer with lymph node metastasis than in the prostate cancer without lymph node metastasis (OR 4.07, 95% CI 2.91 to 10.10, P<0.00001). Conclusion Current evidence indicates that the expression level of Survivin is significantly correlated with prostate cancer and its clinicopathologic features in Chinese population. Due to the limited quantity and quality of included studies, above conclusions need to be verified by conducting more high quality studies.
