Expression of collagenase‐related metalloproteinase genes in human lung or head and neck tumours

Abstract excerpt

We address the question as to whether increased metalloproteinase production might be related to the high regional recurrence rate of some carcinomas, and particularly head and neck squamous-cell carcinomas (SCC). Northern blot of total RNA prepared from 26 lung carcinomas, 107 head and neck carcinoma samples and corresponding normal tissue samples demonstrates the frequent and sometimes concomitant...
