Apoptosis levels have been shown to predict tumor response to preoperative
radiochemotherapy in rectal cancer. Recently, the prominent role of survivin, a structurally …

BACKGROUND: Spontaneous apoptosis has been shown to predict tumor response to
radiochemotherapy in rectal cancer in vivo. It remains to be elucidated, however, which …

PURPOSE: Survivin, as an inhibitor of apoptosis, is undetectable in normal tissues but
expressed in tumors. Survivin expression in rectal cancer patients who have undergone …

PURPOSE: Increased expression of survivin has been identified as a negative prognostic
marker in a variety of human cancers. We have previously shown that survivin is a radiation …

PURPOSE: Survivin shows a radiation resistance factor in colorectal cancer. In the present
study, we determined whether survivin messenger RNA levels in patients with rectal cancer …

Background: Survivin, the smallest member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein (IAP) family,
is a bifunctional protein that has been implicated in both control of cell division and inhibition …

Survivin, a member of the inhibitor-of-apoptosis family is an essential protein for regular
mitosis and is involved in an anti-apoptotic pathway. In some studies, an association …

BACKGROUND: Oxaliplatin is integrated in treatment strategies against a variety of cancers
including radiation protocols. Herein, as a new strategy we tested feasibility and rationale of …

We examined whether survivin acts as a constitutive and inducible radioresistance factor in
pancreatic cancer cells. Using a quantitative TaqMan reverse transcription‐polymerase …

BACKGROUND: Survivin is a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family, which
inhibits apoptosis and regulates cell division. Survivin is expressed by the majority of human …
