BACKGROUND: In recent years, the carcinoma of the breast threatens to women's health heavily. Invasion and metastasis is the main reason that results in the patients death. OBJECTIVE: A prospective study is made in the center hospital of zhengzhou, in order to approach the expression of nm23, MMP-2 (Matrix metallo-proteinase-2), TIMP-2 (it's tissue-inhibitor of the metalloproteinase-2) in the breast neoplasm and the relationship with invasion and metastasis. METHODOLOGY: This study applied the immunohistochemistry technique SP method RESULTS: In fibroadenoma, ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast 4 groups, the positive immunostaining rate of nm23, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 have significant difference among 4 groups (p < 0.05). In the breast invasive ductal carcinoma, the expression of nm23 and TIMP-2 decreased or the expression of MMP-2 increased CONCLUSION: This suggested that invasion and metastasis is ability of the neoplasm. MMP-2 in the breast ductal carcinoma in situ appears of high expression and this suggested that the positive expression of this onco-proteins was the early incident in the genetic course of the breast cancer The unite detection of nm23, MMP-2 and TIMP-2 expression would contribute to the early diagnosis and prognostic assessment of the carcinoma of the breast.
