Background and Objectives: Fas (APO-1) induces apoptosis after binding Fas ligand (FasL). Evidence suggests that tumors may use this interaction to evade the host immune response. Fas/FasL expression has not been reported in esophageal cancer. We hypothesized that Fas expression would render esophag
## Abstract We have previously reported that interferon‐α (IFNα) induces apoptosis and EGF can antagonize this effect in human epidermoid cancer KB cells. Since apoptosis occurs together with cytoskeleton reorganization we have evaluated if IFNα and EGF could modulate cell remodeling in our experim
