## Abstract Recent studies show that silibinin possesses a strong antineoplastic potential against many cancers; however, its efficacy and underlying molecular mechanisms in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are not well defined. Herein, we assessed silibinin activity on prime endpoints and key mol

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Histologically, 80% of lung cancers are classified as nonβsmallβcell lung cancer (NSCLC), and the remaining 20% as smallβcell lung cancer (SCLC). Lung carcinoma is the result of molecular changes in the cell, resulting in the deregulation of pathways controlling normal cellular growth, differentiation, and apoptosis. This review summarizes some of the most recent findings about the role of cellβcycle proteins in lung cancer pathogenesis and progression. Β© 2005 WileyβLiss, Inc.
