Abstract:
AIM: To investigate the relationship between the expression of MMP-2, TIMP-2 and VEGF-C in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with or without lymph node metastasis. METHODS: The expression of MMP-2, TIMP-2 and VEGF-C in 44 cases of HCC were examined using immunohistochemistry methods (SP).RESULTS: The positive expression of MMP-2, TIMP-2 and VEGF-C was associated with lymph node metastasis of HCC (P
