  •   Survivin Expression in Lung Cancer

    Researchers in Germany (Monzo, 1999) used RT-PCR to detect survivin gene transcripts in 83 NSCLC tumour samples and in paired normal lung tissues. The survivin gene transcript was found in 71 (86%) of the tumours and in only 10 (12%) of the normal lung samples. Moreover, the 12 patients without survivin expression were found to have significantly better survival than the 71 patients with survivin expression.
