Abstract excerpt

Survivin has multiple functions including cytoprotection, inhibition of cell death, and cell-cycle regulation, especially at the mitotic process stage, all of which favor cancer survival. Many studies on clinical specimens have shown that survivin expression is invariably up-regulated in human cancers and is associated with resistance to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and linked to poor prognosis, suggesting...
