Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of p53 and expression of Bcl-2, frequently occurring during tumor progression, have different prognostic value: while inactivation of p53 is generally associated with unfavorable prognosis, expression of Bcl-2 often correlates with better clinical outcome and delays selection of metastatic variants of experimental tumors. To analyze the mechanisms underlying the "anti-progression" function of Bcl-2,...
