## Abstract ## BACKGROUND A distinction between noninvasive, invasive, and metastatic thymoma on the basis of the cytologic features is difficult. The current study investigated whether the expression of MMP and TIMP was correlated with tumor invasiveness and prognosis in patients with thymoma. #
## Abstract Membraneβtype metalloproteinaseβ1 (MT1βMMP) is a transmembrane metalloproteinase overexpressed in tumors, which plays a major role in the first step of proβMMPβ2 activation, leading to the generation of an intermediate 62 kDa species. The second step of MMPβ2 activation that yields to t
