Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are crucial in gastrointestinal cancer progression. Inhibiting these enzymes shows promise for new anti-cancer therapies targeting tumor invasion and metastasis.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are implicated in the development of gastrointestinal malignancy.
  • This review focuses on the role of MMPs, particularly the gelatinase subgroup, in cancer.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in gastrointestinal malignancy.
  • To highlight the significance of gelatinase subgroup enzymes.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
  • Papers were sourced from Medline and Enbase databases, covering the period from 1984 to early 1996.

Main Results:

  • MMPs play a significant role in tumor invasion and metastasis.

  • Evidence strongly supports the involvement of MMPs in cancer spread.

    • Conclusions:

    • MMP inhibitors represent a potential therapeutic strategy for managing malignant diseases.
    • Targeting MMPs could offer new avenues for cancer treatment, particularly for controlling invasion and metastasis.
