AIM Notch1 expression remains incompatible and contradictory with previous findings on cervical cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association between Notch1 and cervical cancer. METHODS Available studies were searched from diverse databases and Review Managers 5.3 software was used to perform analysis. RESULTS A total of 798 samples were included in this meta-analysis. The Notch1 expression in cancer tissues was higher than that in precancer (p = 0.0003) and normal tissues (p < 0.02). However, the difference of Notch1 expression between cancer cases and precancer cases has no statistical significance (p = 0.35). Moreover, lymph node metastasis (p = 0.02) was associated with higher Notch1 expression in cervical cancer. CONCLUSION Notch1 over-expression indicated aggressive biological behaviors.
