Abstract
TIMP-2 expression was cytoplasmatic, mainly in cancer cells, but also in some stromal cells. There was correlation between TIMP-2 expression and tumor size and grading observed. We didn't find any correlation between TIMP-2 and nodal metastases, recurrence and survival. Conclusions: Our results don't suggest that TIMP-2 expression may be used as a prognostic factor in patients with laryngeal cancer. Nevertheless there are more researches needed to explain the role of TIMPs in growth and progression of neoplastic tumors.
