## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes capable of degrading extracellular matrix. Their role has been emphasized in tumor invasion, metastasis and tumor‐induced angiogenesis. We studied the expression of collagenase‐1 (MMP‐1), stromelysin‐1 (MMP‐3) and collagenase‐3 (M
## Abstract The relative ability of the antiestrogen, tamoxifen, and its monohydroxy and desmethyl metabolites to displace tritiated estradiol from estrogen receptors isolated from human breast carcinoma was determined. 4‐Hydroxytamoxifen binds to the estrogen receptor with affinity equal to estrad
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Fibrin formation is required for tumor angiogenesis, metastasis, and invasion. D‐dimer, a fibrin degradation product, is produced when crosslinked fibrin is degraded by plasmin. The current study prospectively examined D‐dimer levels in patients with metastatic colorectal
