Metalloproteinases and colorectal cancer. Correlation of gene expression and clinical-pathological parameters.

CONCLUSIONS: The MMPs 1, 2, 9, 11 and 16 gene and protein expression with statistical significance in at least one of the clinicopathological variables studied. Thus, we conclude that these MMPs have potential as a prognostic factor in colorectal adenocarcinoma.
