Expression of MMP-7 and MT1-MMP in oral squamous cell carcinoma as predictive indicator for tumor invasion and prognosis.
- Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity is a highly invasive neoplasm that spreads locally and metastasizes to regional lymph nodes. This process involves multiple proteolytic enzymes including matrilysin (MMP-7) and membrane type I-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP). This study was designed to explore the association between MMP-7 and MT1-MMP in the invasiveness and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
