Matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) are associated with invasive and metastatic behavior of several human malignant tumors. We have determined MMP-2 and MMP-9 and tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in blood plasma and in renal tissue samples of patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from c
## Abstract Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)β1 is associated with tumor cell invasion and metastasis, and its promoter polymorphism has been shown to influence the transcriptional level. Our study explored the association between this polymorphism and renal cell carcinoma in a Japanese population. DN
