Elevated MMP9 expression in breast cancer is a predictor of shorter patient survival
22 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: MMP9 is a matricellular protein associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, that promotes tumour progression, and modulates the activity of cell adhesion molecules and cytokines. This study aims to assess the prognostic value of MMP9 and its association with cytoskeletal modulators in early-stage invasive breast cancer (BC). METHODS: MMP9 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry using...
