Abstract

The expression of Bcl-2 oncoprotein is associated with inhibition of apoptosis and prolonged cell survival. The purpose of this study was to investigate Bcl-2 protein expression in patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) in order to see if it was related to clinicopathological features and to prognosis.
