Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: In gastric cancer (GCa) tissues, mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase-8 (MMP-8) is notably reduced compared to healthy tissues. Furthermore, abnormally low or elevated serum levels of MMP-8 have been linked to a significantly poor prognosis. The involvement of MMP-8 genotypes in susceptibility to GCa remains underexplored. We aimed to assess the influence of MMP-8 genotypes on GCa...
