Cyclin D2/D3 (CCND2/3) are core components of the machinery that drives cell cycle progression and therefore, are associated with tumorigenesis. Currently, there are contradictory evidences on the function of CCND2/3 in tumorigenesis. Thus, we conducted a comprehensive meta‐analysis to derive a precise predictive value of CCND2/3 in various tumors. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science for eligible studies up to October 8, 2018. Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of OS or DFS/PFS/RFS were calculated using Forest plot analysis to demonstrate their associations. A total of 14 studies were ultimately included in this meta‐analysis. Our results indicated CCND2/3 played an oncogenic role in all of the cancer patients (CCND2: pooled HR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.67‐2.93; CCND3: pooled HR = 2.29, 95% CI: 1.05‐5.03). In tumor subgroup, CCND2 was associated with shorter OS in patients with gastric cancer (HR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.66‐2.92), whereas it might be a tumor suppressor in NSCLC (HR = 0.28, 95% CI: 0.12‐0.64). In addition, CCND3 was correlated to reduced OS in breast cancer patients (HR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.07‐2.52) and shorter DFS/PFS/RFS in bladder cancer patients (HR = 4.60, 95% CI: 1.89‐12.57). Taken together, CCND2/3 could be the promising biomarkers for predicting the prognosis of patients with malignant neoplasms.
