摘要: PURPOSEThe significance of tumor-associated proteolysis as reflected by parameters the urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) system for prognosis in cancer patients has been proposed because evidence its central role basic mechanisms invasion and metastasis. The aim present study was to evaluate whether expression uPA might be clinical value gastric a tumor/biologically defined risk factor.PATIENTS AND METHODSIn consecutive series 203 resected primary cancer, uPA, uPA-receptor (uPA-R), inhibitor (PAI)-1, PAI-2 determined immunohistochemically. results were classified semiquantitatively (0 3). Patients followed-up prospectively median 31 months (range, 9 56 months). Disease-free overall survival analyzed according Kaplan-Meier with univariate multivariate Cox analyses relation conventional prognostic factors.RESULTSUniv...
