Abstract excerpt
Fas (APO-1/CD95) is a broadly expressed death receptor involved in a series of physiological and pathological apoptotic processes. One of the possible mechanisms for resistance to apoptosis signaling in the immune system as well as in the pathogenesis of non-lymphoid malignancies is the presence of Fas mutations within the entire gene. We investigated, in 79 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) samples, the...
