Abstract:
Objective To study the clinical significance of the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and E-cadherin(E-cad) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods Immunohistochemical method (SP) was used to detect the expression of the MMP-9 and E-cad in 62 NSCLC tissues and 18 normal lung tissues.Results The positive expression rate of MMP-9 and the abnormal expression rate of E-cad in NSCLC were closely related to the TNM stages,pathological grades and lymph node involvement (P
