The plasminogen activators, tissue type and urokinase type (tPA and uPA, respectively), have been identified in various malignancies and have been implicated in both local growth and metastatic spread. To characterize plasminogen activator expression more fully in human basal cell carcinoma, the loc

## Abstract The content of PAIโ1 was measured in carcinoma tissues from the stomach and colorectum divided macroscopically into 3 portions: the central part of the carcinoma, the marginal part of the carcinoma containing some normal mucosa, and the normal mucosa. Among these tissues, the highest le
## Background: The plasminogen activator system plays an important role in different malignant tumors. these enzymes participate in the destruction of intercellular matrices and basement membranes and/or can modulate the growth potency of tumor cells and may even promote metastases. in this study,
Plasminogen activator (PA) and PA inhibitor (PAI) were measured in homogenates of leukemia cells. Both PA and PA1 levels were higher in non-lymphobiastic leukemia than in lymphobiastic leukemia. The levels were below the sensitivity of determination in chronic myeiocytic leukemia (CML) but showed si
In experimental models, plasminogen activator-mediated degradation of the extracellular matrix is inhibited by type-1 plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1). PA14 has also been shown to protect tumour stromal tissue from autoproteolytic activities and may thus substantially promote tumour growth an
Seven teenaged patients with primary oesophageal carcinoma, treated at our hospital in the last 6 years are presented and their management discussed. Five patients had localised disease. Three of them underwent total oesophagectomy, one was given radical radiotherapy, and one was lost to follow-up.
