Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the incidence of Fas (exon 9) mutations and the expression of Fas, Fas-Fas ligand (FasL) system, and cellular FLICE-like inhibitory protein (c-FLIP) in relation to standard clinicopathologic parameters and patient outcome in bladder carcinoma. Disruption of apoptotic cell death has been implicated in tumor aggressiveness in bladder urothelial carcinomas. The FasL system is involved in...
