## BACKGROUND. Activation of Met, the receptor for scatter factor/hepatocyte growth factor, is associated with mitogenesis, motogenesis, and decreased cell adhesion. Elevated expression of Met has been shown in advanced cases of carcinoma of the prostate, stomach, pancreas, and thyroid. The author
Studies from model systems suggest that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are causally involved in tumor progression while tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) prevent this progression. Here, we show that concentrations of TIMP-1 are significantly higher in breast carcinomas than in fibroadenomas. In pr
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of angiogenesis and vascular permeability. Increased serum VEGF concentrations (S-VEGF) have been found in patients with various types of human cancer, including cancer of the lung. However, the clinical and prognostic significance
