Abstract excerpt
Numerous studies have reported a correlation between the production of gelatinases A and B by cancer cells and invasive and metastatic potential. It has been suggested that the expression of gelatinase A (72-kDa type IV collagenase) is associated more closely with the metastatic phenotype of mali...
