## Background and objectives: Telomerase is thought to be responsible for cell immortality, and bcl-2 has been demonstrated to regulate apoptosis. recent studies have shown a wide occurrence of telomerase activation and bcl-2 deregulation in human carcinoma cells. ## Methods: We examined telomera
We examined the expression of p53 protein by immunohistochemical method in a series of pancreatic tumors and evaluated its relationships to the clinicopathological factors and prognosis. The study involved 108 cases of pancreatic tumors (79 ductal carcinomas, 1 acinar cell carcinoma, 14 endocrine tu
## Abstract ## Background Xβlinked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) is a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis family of proteins and deregulation of XIAP can result in tumorigenicity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the prognostic significance of XIAP expression in colorectal canc
