## Background: The 5-year survival rate of patients with submucosal (sm) esophageal carcinoma continues to be much worse than that with intramucosal (m) lesions. the reasons are unclear, but matrix metalloproteinases (mmps) and membrane type matrix metalloproteinases (mt-mmps) are known to be invol
## Background and objectives: In one of the steps of tumor invasion and metastasis, tumor cells must invade surrounding tissues and degrade the components of the basement membranes. interstitial collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1: mmp-1) has been also investigated in relation to cancer invasio
We examined the production and tissue localization of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7 β«Ψβ¬ matrilysin) in human gastric carcinomas and analyzed the data in connection with the clinicopathological factors. Sandwich-enzyme immunoassay for the zymogen of MMP-7 (proMMP-7) showed enhanced production of
