Prognostic values of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-2 expression in bladder cancer

Abstract

MMP-2 and TIMP-2 are believed to contribute to the invasive properties of bladder carcinoma. The authors report that expression of MMP-2, TIMP-2, and MT1-MMP are useful prognostic indicators in patients with bladder carcinoma and may be helpful in designing treatment protocols.
