Are increased metastases associated with inflammation and matrix metalloproteinase-9 activity at incision sites in a murine model of peritoneal dissemination of colorectal cancer?
Thus, we conclude that wound-associated inflammation enhances pro-MMP-9 expression, which plays a key role in the growth and progression of cancer cells associated with peritoneal metastases.
The present vascular calcification scoring represents a simple tool for the assessment of cardiovascular risk related with vascular calcifications in chronic HD patients.
