Abstract

Degradation of the extracellular matrix is a prerequisite for the processes of cancer cell invasion and metastasis. The purpose of our study was to assess the association of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9) and their inhibitors (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression and cancer-specific survival (CSS), using immunohistochemical analysis of 60 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of tumor tissue and normal tissue near the tumor from surgical T1-3bN0 M0 RCC specimens. Significant overexpression of MMP-2 in tumor and normal tissue was correlated with advanced stages, tumor size, sarcomatous differentiation and clinical symptoms. Overall survival was 31.7% (55.2% M0, 9.7% M1) and CSS 56.7% (100% M0, 16.1% M1) with a follow-up of 76 (5-230) months. Fuhrman grade [HR 2.87 (95% CI: 1.28-6.45); p = 0.01], tumor size [HR 1.13 (95% CI: 1.03-1.26); p = 0.009] and low TIMP-2 expression [HR 0.35 (95% CI: 0.16-0.78); p = 0.01] were independent predictive factors of CSS and stratified the patients into three groups with different rates of 10-year CSS; [100%, 73.9% and 20.5% for the good, intermediate and poor prognosis group respectively (p = 0.000006)] . This study offers strong evidence th...Continue Reading
