Research Abstract |
(1)It has been suggested that enhanced expression of MMP-9, uPA, COX-2 and cyclin D1 in oral cancer tissues may be biological markers for the development of cancer metastasis. (2)Serum levels of biological markers in oral cancer patients were significantly diminished by cancer treatment. (3)Serum levels of biological markers in oral cancer patients correlated with N-stage and lymphangio-hemangiogenesis.
