Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Upregulation of matrix metallo-proteinase-8 (MMP-8) serves as a protein-based indicator for predicting nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) metastasis. Nevertheless, the role of MMP-8 genotypes in NPC has never been investigated. This study aimed to explore the involvement of MMP-8 genotypes in NPC development. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We employed the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length...
