This review discusses the biology and the methods of assessment of apoptosis, of which, the monoclonal antibody M30 would seem to be the most useful; the role of apoptosis in the etiology of colorectal cancer; and its use as a marker to monitor the beneficial effects of chemopreventative interventions to reduce the development of colorectal cancer within the context of clinical trials.
本综述讨论了细胞凋亡的生物学特性、评估方法(其中单克隆抗体M30似乎最为有用);细胞凋亡在结直肠癌病因学中的作用;以及在临床试验背景下,其作为一种标志物用于监测化学预防干预措施对降低结直肠癌发生的有益效果。
