Survivin is a recently characterised inhibitor of apoptosis protein that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several types of solid organ cancer. This study sought to describe the expression of survivin in a cohort of 90 benign meningiomas, together with the pattern of expression of other genes involved in the apoptotic process, namely bax and bcl2. Survivin expression was noted in 94% (85/90) of samples and was not correlated with the expression of either bax or bcl2 or with clinicopathological factors. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd.
