Abstract

Objective: Survivin, an apoptosis inhibitor protein, has multiple functions that favor cancer cell survival. We sought to determine survivin levels in blood samples and biopsies from patients with lung cancer compared to normal individuals and healthy lung tissues respectively. Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 32 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and 49 healthy individuals. Tissue samples were also collected, 15 NSCLC biopsies and 15 histopathologically normal lung tissues.
