ABSTRACT
Researches have indicated that matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) play a key role in the metastasis of nasopharynx carcinoma (NPC). They promote tumor cell infiltration and metastasis by proteolysis of extracellular matrix proteolysis of tumor cells and induction of angiogenesis and lymphangioenesis. Researches on the mechanism of MMPs and VEGFs on NPC may help to further understand the metastasis of NPC and develop new methods for the diagnosis and treatment of NPC and other tumors as well.
