Apoptosis and cancer: strategies for integrating programmed cell death.

abstract：:The farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) have been shown in early clinical trials to elicit antitumor actions in a broad range of solid and hematologic malignancies. The mechanism of FTI action involves blockade of farnesyltransferase, an enzyme implicated in multiple cell-signaling pathways involved in proliferation...
