The role of apoptotic or nonapoptotic cell death in determining cellular response to anticancer treatment Export

@article{citeulike:693875, abstract = {AimsApoptosis, an early response cell death, is a useful marker for predicting tumour response after anticancer treatment; however, late-response cell death or nonapoptotic cell death, autophagy, can also be observed.

Anticancer treatment-induced apoptosis is regulated by the balance of proapoptoic and antiapoptoic proteins through mitochondria, and resistance to apoptosis is mediated by Bcl-2-dependent and Akt-dependent pathways.
