Comprehensive Analysis of Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein Expression and Prognostic Significance in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) have been associated with tumor development and progression by affecting apoptosis through cell death signaling pathways. To date, eight IAPs (BIRC1–8) have been identified in mammalian cells. However, the role of IAPs in non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) dev...
