Surveillance colonoscopy and biopsy are inaccurate methods of predicting the likelihood of ulcerative colitis patients to develop colon carcinoma. We examined uPA and PAI-1 as potential markers for assessing these patients and those with familial polyposis who are at risk of developing colon cancer.

## 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,
## Urokinase -type plasminogen activator (u-PA) is thought to be implicated in cancer invasion and metastasis. The aim of this study was to determine whether the u-PA content of cancer tissue is a prognostic factor in bladder cancer. Tissue samples from 46 patients with bladder cancer were assesse
## Background: Urokinase-type plasminogen activator (upa) plays an important role in the destruction of the extracellular matrix and basement membrane around cancer cells. in the current study, the authors investigated upa expression in cancer cells and stromal cells in patients with gastric carcin
