Expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-2 in pituitary tumors and their relationship with cavernous sinus invasion
In this cohort, we found no significant correlation between tissue and plasma levels of MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-2 and cavernous sinus invasion in pituitary tumors. Further investigation is needed to elucidate the potential role of these markers in the invasiveness of pituitary tumors.
