MMP-1 gene expression has also been shown to have implications with cancer treatment. MMP-1 can be used as a candidate marker that may be useful for identification of breast lesions that can develop into cancer. As such, the medical implications of MMP-1 go beyond just what happens if the enzyme functions improperly but the enzyme, well rather the gene that encodes the enzyme, can also aid the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of breast cancer <ref name="nagase">Nagase, H.
