Head and neck cancers (HNCs) and brain tumors continue to be fatal diseases in most countries of the world.

Abstract: Background: There is unmet need for non-invasive immunomonitoring to improve diagnosis and treatment of acute rejection in vascularized composite allotransplantation (VCA).

However, larger validation studies are yet to be reported to allow for more definitive conclusions. Methods: We retrospectively measured MMP3 levels using ELISA in a total of 140 longitudinal serum samples from six internal and three external face transplant recipients, as well as three internal and seven external upper extremity transplant recipients...
