## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are potent mediators of tumor angiogenesis. It has been demonstrated that vestibular schwannoma VEGF expression correlates with tumor growth pattern, whereas knowledge on the expres
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zincβdependent proteases capable of degrading extracellular matrix components. The activity of these proteases is tightly regulated through the actions of the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs). Although the regulation of MMPs and TIMPs
