[How to predict the relapse after surgery or radiofrequency of liver metastases of colorectal cancer? Interest of the serum kinetic variation of a matrix metalloproteinase cluster].

CONCLUSION: This is the first study wich correlates the post-operative level of 4 MMPs and TIMP-1 with the risk of liver recurrence after surgery or radiofrequency. Serum TIMP-1 level at J0 could be helpful to identify patients with higher risk but these results need to be confirmed in a large-scale study. PMID: 30243479 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
