Immunohistochemical expression of MMP-2, and mmp.-9 in serous versus mucinous ovarian tumors: correlation with angiogenesis and clinico-pathological characteristics

ABSTRACT

Purpose: to analyze the expression of MMP-2. MMP-9, and VEGF and mean vascular count [MVC] in both serous and mucinous ovarian tumors. The correlation of these markers with clinico-patological characteristics was also evaluated
