Do [ Overexpression of IL-8 and MMP-9 confer high malignant phenotype in patients with non-small cell lung cancer ]?
This study has confirmed that IL-8, MMP-9 expressions are related to the development of NSCLC. There is an obvious correlation between IL-8 expression and lymph node metastasis, IL-8 may facilitate the lymph node metastasis by up-regulating MMP-9 expression. Serum level of IL-8 is a valuable auxiliary parameter in diagnosing lymph node metastases of NSCLC with good sensitivity and specificity.
