Spontaneous apoptosis in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is independent of bcl-2 and bax protein expression
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: bcl-2 and bax genes are known to be involved in the control of apoptotic cell death, an important mechanism of growth regulation that influences the biologic behavior of tumors. The aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship of bcl-2 and bax expression to the rate of spontaneous apoptosis in laryngeal carcinomas, and to assess its relations to clinicopathologic features of tumors....
