Abstract:
Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) can promote the invasion and metastasis of breast cancer through various mechanisms.The expressions of MMP-9 in the patients with breast cancer are correlated with the prognosis.The higher expression of MMP-9 indicates poorer prognosis.It is suggested that the level change of MMP-9 pre and post treatment can be used as a reference standard for judging the prognosis and clinical effect.
