Bcl-2 is a proto-oncogene which is involved in prolonging cell survival by inhibiting programmed cell death. Bax and bcl-x are members of the bcl-2 family; when overexpressed, they can counteract the ability of bcl-2 to inhibit apoptosis. This suggests a model in which the ratios of bcl-2 to bax and
## BACKGROUND. Apoptosis-regulating genes have been shown to be important in the biology of prostate cancer. The aim of this study was to examine and correlate the expression of the apoptosis-regulating genes bcl-2, bax, and p53 with the frequency of apoptosis and rate of proliferation in benign p
