Survivin mRNA Levels Are Associated With Biology of Disease and Patient Survival in Neuroblastoma: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group
1 Jul 2006
Abstract excerpt
Alterations in apoptotic mechanisms favoring cell survival may be vital for modifying tumor behavior. Survivin, an inhibitor of apoptosis, and caspase 8, a proapoptotic enzyme, are key players in cellular apoptotic mechanisms. We investigated whether the levels of survivin and caspase 8 and the ratio between these 2 apoptotic factors correlate with tumor biology and predicts outcome in patients with...
