The following combinations of main keywords were used: (LTA OR Lymphotoxin alpha OR TNF-\u03b2 OR tumor necrosis factor-beta) AND (polymorphism OR mutation OR variation OR SNP OR genotype) AND (cancer OR tumor OR neoplasm OR malignancy OR carcinoma OR adenocarcinoma). Potential sources of heterogeneity were sought out via subgroup and sensitivity analysis, and publication bias were estimated.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: Overall, a total of 24 articles with 24577 cases and 33351 controls for five polymorphisms of LTA gene were enrolled. We identified that rs2239704 was associated with a reduced risk of cancer. While for other polymorphisms, the results showed no significant association with cancer risk. In the stratified analysis of rs1041981, we found that Asians might have less susceptibility to cancer. At the same time, we found that rs2239704 was negatively correlated with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). While, for rs909253, an increased risk of cancer for Caucasians and HCC susceptibility were uncovered in the stratified analysis of by ethnicity and cancer type.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusion: LTA rs2239704 polymorphism is inversely associated with the risk of cancer. LTA rs1041981 polymorphism is negatively associated with cancer risk in Asia. While, LTA rs909253 polymorphism is a risk factor for HCC in Caucasian population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1042\/bsr20192320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,18]],"date-time":"2020-05-18T11:56:37Z","timestamp":1589802997000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1042\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The effect of <i>LTA<\/i> gene polymorphisms on cancer risk: an updated systematic review and meta- analysis"],"prefix":"10.1042","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Jingdong","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang 050000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yaxuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang 050000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xueliang","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang 050000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1247-7004","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhenwei","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, The Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang 050000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"288","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021111620124435500_B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"453","DOI":"10.1159\/000341690","article-title":"Lymphotoxin, NF-kB, and cancer: the dark side of cytokines","volume":"30","author":"Bauer","year":"2012","journal-title":"Dig.
