Background: Apoptosis and cell proliferation in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung
have not been well described with relation to fine-needle aspiration biopsies (FNABs). To …

To evaluate the relationship between cell proliferation and apoptosis during progression of
lung carcinomas, immunohistochemistry for proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and …

Objective To investigate cell death via apoptosis in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC)
and its correlation with proliferative indices and follow-up. Study design In 38 cases of …

Background Cell kinetic data are important indicators of the aggressiveness of tumor and
treatment response. The size of a neoplasm depends on the balance between cell …

Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of the balance between apoptosis and
proliferation in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: Paraffin-embedded sections …

In a previous small series of surgically treated non-small cell lung cancer patients (NSCLC),
we found that higher apoptotic index (AI) negatively influenced survival (Dworakowska D …

The percentage of apoptotic cells among the tumor cells (apoptotic index) was determined in
a series of 178 non-small cell lung carcinomas with a long term clinical follow-up by a …

This study was undertaken to determine the extent of apoptosis in lung carcinoma and to
evaluate it as a prognostic marker. A series of 75 lung carcinomas (47 squamous cell …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic relevance of apoptotic index
(AI), considered alone or together with expression of several proteins controlling G1 check …

Aims—Apoptosis is recognised as a physiological mechanism for controlling cell numbers
and its subversion is thought to contribute to carcinogenesis. The aims of this study were to …
