Colorectal cancers from the mutator phenotype pathway display distinctive pathological features and confer a lesser aggressiveness than colorectal adenocarcinomas originated by the suppressor pathway. The goal of this work was to test whether tumors developed through the mutator pathway could show a decrease in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. We evaluated levels and activity of gelatinase A (MMP-2) and...
