Matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with invasive and metastatic behavior of several human malignant tumors. We have determined MMP-2 and MMP-9 and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in blood plasma and in renal tissue samples of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from c
## Background and Objectives: The objective was to evaluate the potent role of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases(TIMPs) in processes leading to metastasis and local invasiveness of Chinese human ductal adenocarcinomas of the pancreas. We also evaluated
## Abstract The production of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) by prostatic epithelial and/or neighboring stromal cells is considered to be a property that gives cells the capability to penetrate extracellular matrix barriers in normal or neoplastic growth. In order to examine the role of MMPs in t
