In the meantime, MMP-9 overexpression was significantly associated with the tumor grade, FIGO stage, lymph node metastasis and myometrial invasion (Tumor grade: OR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.09-2.58, P < 0.05; FIGO stage: OR = 3.25, 95% CI = 1.73-6.08, P < 0.05; Lymph node metastasis: OR = 2.98, 95% CI = 1.27-7.03, P < 0.05; Myometrial invasion: OR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.42-4.12, P < 0.05) in Asians. This evidence concerns the gene MMP9 and neoplasm.
