Cerebrospinal fluid matrix metalloproteinase-9 increases during treatment of recurrent malignant gliomas

BACKGROUND: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that promote tumor invasion and angiogenesis by enzymatically remodeling the extracellular matrix. MMP-2 and MMP-9 are the most abundant forms of MMPs in malignant gliomas, while a 130 kDa MMP is thought to be MMP-9 complexed to other proteina...
