The Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) as a Prognostic Factor in Epithelial and Lymphatic Neoplasia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 is a zinc-dependent extracellular matrix remodeling endopeptidase directly involved in the local invasion mechanisms and in metastasis. The current review aims to evaluate the expression of MMP-9 and its prognostic value in the most common epithelial and lymphatic neoplasia of the pelvic-abdominal region. We included 19 studies published between January 1st, 1995 and July 31st 2015, involving a total of 1523 patients. The analysis indicate that MMP-9 is valid marker of poor survival in epithelial and lymphatic neoplasia.
