Objective To systematically review the correlation between the expression of survivin and cervical cancer and its clinical pathologic features. Methods Systematic and comprehensive literature was searched in The Cochrane Library (Issue 1, 2013), PubMed, MEDLINE (Ovid), CNKI, CBM and WanFang Data from inception to May 2013, to retrieve case-control studies published in the foreign and domestic areas on the correlation between the expression of survivin and cervical cancer and its clinical pathologic features. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted the data, and evaluated the quality of the included studies. Then meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.1 software. Results A total of 13 studies involving 1 530 women (658 cervical cancer patients, 563 cervical intraepithelial neoplasis (CIN), 658 normal cervical. The results of meta-analysis showed that, a) as for the positive rate of survivin expression, significant differences were found between cervical cancer and CIN (OR=4.63, 95%CI 3.49 to 6.13, P < 0.000 01), cervical cancer and normal cervical tissues (OR=38.23, 95%CI 23.92 to 61.11, P < 0.000 01), and CIN and normal cervical tissues (OR=9.61, 95%CI 6.11 to 15.09, P < 0.000 01). b) Significant differences were found between clinical stages Ⅰ-Ⅱ and clinical stages Ⅲ-Ⅳ (OR=0.17, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.41, P < 0.000 1), cervical cancer with lymph node metastasis and that without lymph node metastasis (OR=3.57, 95%CI 2.20 to 5.78, P < 0.000 01), high and moderate/low differentiated ESCC tissues (OR=0.31, 95%CI 0.13 to 0.76, P=0.01), and shallow and deep muscular infiltration (OR=0.12, 95%CI 0.02 to 0.68, P=0.02). No significant difference was found between cervical cancer with laterouterus or haemal infiltration and that without latero-uterus or haemal infiltration (OR=24.15, 95%CI 0.07 to 8 199.76, P=0.28). Conclusion Current foreign and domestic evidence shows that, survivin expression is significantly correlated to cervical cancer and its clinically pathologic features, which may participate in the whole course of carcinogenesis of cervical cancer, but it is not considered to be an absolute factor for estimating the survival rate of patients with cervical cancer. Due to the quality limitation of the included studies, more large scale, well-designed and high quality studies are needed for further verifying the aforementioned conclusion.
