## Background: Inhibition of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, may be critical both in the development of cancer and in determining response to therapy. the authors examined the expression of two related apoptotic inhibitors, bcl-2 and bcl-xl, in pretreatment biopsies from a series of 42 patient
