Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a prevalent malignancy globally, particularly in Taiwan, where its incidence continues to rise. While environmental exposures such as smoking play critical roles in BLCA etiology, genetic predispositions also contribute significantly. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2), a key enzyme involved in extracellular matrix remodeling, has been implicated in BLCA progression. This...
