摘要
To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and-9in human prostate cancer,matrix metalloproteinase-2 and-9 were immunohistochemically detected in tissues of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Our results showed that matrix metalloproteinase-2 and-9levels in prostate cancer were much higher than those in tissues of BPH,with the cancer invasion being positively correlated with the expression of the metalloproteinases.It is concluded that matrix metalloproteinase-2 and-9are better molecular markers,which are of help in the diagnosis and prediction of prognosis of prostate cancer.
