The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) of the summary receiver\u2010operating characteristic curve (SROC) were 0.78, 0.84, and 0.87, respectively. Besides, the upregulation of oncogenic circRNAs was significantly associated with poorer overall survival (OS) (HR=2.25,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05) and disease\u2010free interval (DFS) (HR=1.92,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). In contrast, the elevated expression of tumor suppressor circRNAs was associated with a favorable prognosis (HR=0.50,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). In addition, the high expression of oncogenic circRNAs was associated with the tumor size (OR=3.59,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), degree of differentiation (OR=1.89,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), TNM stage (OR=2.35,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), lymph node metastasis (OR=1.85,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), and distant metastasis (OR=3.42,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Moreover, the expression of tumor suppressor circRNAs was associated with improved clinicopathological features (lymph node metastasis:
