## Abstract Tumor progression and metastasis contribute to the great majority of breast cancer deaths. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are thought to be involved in tumor progression and metastasis. Thus, we determined whether the expression of M

## Abstract ## Background. Factors that represent the potential for invasion and metastasis, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), could predict prognosis of cancer. Therefore, the authors studied plasma and tissue levels of MMPβ2 and MMPβ9 in oral cancer, the leading malignancy in India. ##
## Abstract ## Background. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and transforming growth factorβΞ²1 (TGFβΞ²1) are important in many physiological and pathological processes. ## Methods. Immunohistochemistry for MMPβ2, MMPβ9, membraneβtype 1 MMP (MT1βMMP, MMPβ14), tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloprote
## Abstract Cathepsin D was assayed in 74 primary breast cancer specimens by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and immunohistochemical assay (ICA). Of the 74 specimens, 38 (51.4%) were scored positive by ICA, and 25 (33.8%) were scored positive by EIA. The coincidence rate between ICA and EIA was 71.6% (53/
## Abstract Chemokines and chemokine receptors have been shown to be involved in metastatic process of prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, we show primary PCa tissues and cell lines (LNCaP and PC3) express CXCR5, a specific chemokine receptor for CXCL13. Expression of CXCR5 was significantly high
Approximately 20% of prostate cancers originate in the transition zone (TZ). Although transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and systematic biopsies have improved peripheral zone (PZ) cancer diagnosis, additional biopsies directed into the TZ may further improve cancer detection. To evaluate the frequency a
