Nearly all anticancer drugs presently available to clinicians kill tumor cells by activating an endogenous biochemical pathway for cell suicide, known as programmed cell death or apoptosis. However, many malignant cells develop defects in the regulation of genes that control apoptosis, rendering them resistant to the induction of apoptosis by a wide variety of stimuli, including chemotherapeutic drugs and...
