1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have been implicated in tumor progression. Matrilysin, one of the matrix metalloproteinases, is frequently overexpressed in gastrointestinal cancers. The aim of our study was to assess the validity of matrilysin as a prognostic marker of colorectal cancers.
