## Background: Bcl-2 and bax genes are known to be involved in the control of apoptotic cell death, an important mechanism of growth regulation that influences the biologic behavior of tumors. the aim of the current study was to investigate the relationship of bcl-2 and bax expression to the rate o
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: Recent studies on the role of bcl-2 in malignant tumors have suggested its prognostic significance. the goals of the current study were to determine any correlation between bcl-2 expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and histopathology, lymph node metastasis, and clinical
