ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) and its correlation with cancer cell proliferation and metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).Methods:
Immunohistochemical SP method was used to detect the expression of MMP-9 and Ki-67 in 40 cases of OSCC.Results:
The expression of MMP-9 was closely correlated with lymph nodes metastasis and TNM stage of OSCC(P0.05). In cases with lymph nodes metastasis and TNM stage III+IV, the expression of MMP-9 was significantly higher than that in no lymph nodes metastasis and TNM stage I+II(P
