Expression of FAS (CD95/APO-1) and FAS ligand in lung cancer, its prognostic and predictive relevance
21 Jun 1999
Abstract excerpt
In order to examine whether or not the expression of the apoptosis-related receptor Fas (CD-95/APO-1) and its ligand (FasL) has relevance for patient survival, immunohistochemistry was used to analyze the proteins of both factors in 164 non-small cell lung carcinomas. Patients with Fas-positive tumors exhibited significantly longer survival times than patients with Fas-negative carcinomas. In contrast, FasL did...
