Abstract: Objective To study the significance of MMP-3 and p53 expression in patients with mammary carcinoma. Methods The expression of MMP-3 and p53 were detected by immunohistochemical S-P in 58 mammary infiltration duct carcinoma tissue samples and their clinical data were statistically analysed. Results In 58 mammary carcinoma tissue samples, the expression of MMP-3 was 44.83% and the expression of p53 was 37.93%.The expression of MMP-3 was correlated significantly with lymph node metastasis, P<0.05;The expression of p53 was correlated significantly with the size of cancer, P<0.05. Conclusions The expression of MMP-3, p53 can be taken as the biological marker of prognosis and postoperative comprehensive treatment of breast cancer.

Key words: Mammary infiltration duct carcinoma, Matrix metalloproteinases-3, p53
