Proteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix resulting in cancer progression?

What are some pathways or proteins that are commonly used by cancerous cells to degrade the extracellular matrix resulting in tumor growth/ progression of cancer? I need to do a presentation on this and am not very familiar with this aspect of cancer. So any information, especially links, that can provide a good foundation for researching the topic would be much appreciated.
