“…These findings, in conjunction with our observation, suggests an undefined role of nuclear MMP-3 in the development of prostate cancer. In addition, the elevation of MMP-3 serum levels in cancer patients but the lack of a significant association with clinicopathological features, as demonstrated by the present and earlier studies 37 – 39 , implies that serum MMP-3 might be a useful diagnostic tumor marker albeit one that cannot be used to prognosticate.…”

“…Using cut-off values of 18 ng/mL and 1.99  μ g/mL for MMP-3 and COMP, respectively (based on the mean values for the healthy control subjects +2 standard deviations), the mean MMP-3 and COMP values for the control groups compared favourably with previous studies of 46 and 291 healthy controls respectively [32, 33]. The respective frequencies of elevated MMP-3 and COMP levels for the RA patients were 56.25% and 34.6% (Table 1).…”

“…Tadbir et al ( 34 ), analysed serum MMP-3 level in OSCC patients. Their results showed that serum MMP-3 level in OSCC patients was significantly higher than healthy controls but they couldn`t correlate serum MMP-3 concentration with the clinicopathological.…”
