Serum matrix metalloproteinase-7: a potential biomarker in patients with Lynch Syndrome

CONCLUSIONS: Age-adjusted serum MMP-7 levels in asymptomatic LS carriers are higher than its levels in healthy population. While in colon cancer, MMP-7 higher level probably reflects the tumor burden and may have a prognostic effect, its significance and clinical applicability as a biomarker for tumorigenesis in LS is less clear and should be elucidated.PMID:37480510 | DOI:10.1007/s11033-023-08614-y
