An extensive review made by Huang et al. [28] summarized how MMP-9 can be explored as a potential biomarker, and also how this MMP is overexpressed in several types of tumors such as colorectal carcinoma, breast, pancreatic, ovarian, cervical, osteosarcoma non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB). This evidence concerns the gene MMP9 and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
