## 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: Three types of membrane type-matrix metalloproteinases (mt-mmps) have been identified as activators of pro-mmp2 (gelatinase a/72-kilodalton type iv collagenase), which is believed to be crucial for tumor invasion and metastasis. mt1-mmp has been shown to be widely expressed in variou
