Table 4 Comparison of objective MMP2-expression of primary uveal melanoma regarding the development of metastasis
From: CD147 and matrix-metalloproteinase-2 expression in metastatic and non-metastatic uveal melanomas
MMP2- expression of all melanomas | MMP2- expression of metastatic melanoma | MMP2- expression of non- metastatic melanoma | p-value (Mann–Whitney-U-Test) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Objective number of positive cells (stage 1–4) mean ± SD | 3.6 ± 0.89 | 3.7 ± 0.82 | 3.6 ± 1.00 | |
Objective intensity (stage 1–4) mean ± SD | 1.3 ± 0.87 | 1.2 ± 0.86 | 1.5 ± 0.87 | 0.292 |
Rate of objective expression (%) mean ± SD | 31.0 ± 21.93 % | 27.6 ± 21.01 % | 35.4 ± 22.84 % | 0.585 |
