"Matrix metalloproteinases (especially MMP-2 and MMP-9) are
enzymes that are secreted to degrade the ECM. Any new blood
vessels formed by angiogenesis can migrate only after the ECM is
degraded. MMP-2 and MMP-9 have long been associated with
tumor progression and metastasis.6-8 Although mechanisms of MMP
inhibition remain obscure, n-3 omega fatty acids have been shown
to be very effective MMP inhibitors,"
