title: [Role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 and components of the extracellular matrix--collagen type IV and laminin expression in detection of the invasive potential of pancreatic tumors].
abstract: Invasive potential of ductal tumors (adenocarcinoma, mucinous-cystic tumors, gastrinoma and undifferentiated tumors) positively correlated with the degree of metalloproteinase-2 expression and negatively correlated with stromal content of type IV collagen.
