| Abstract | The control of apoptotic mechanisms is integral to many aspects of tumor biology and appears to be involved in the process of recurrence. Apoptosis serves as an essential mechanism to prevent the proliferation of cells with a higher mutation rate, thus tempering malignant transformation. Most antineoplastic therapies function by triggering apoptosis in sensitive cells. Resistance to treatment may result from specific inhibition of apoptotic signaling. Chemotherapy or radiation may increase the mutation rate and hasten tumor evolution in cancer cells that are resistant to apoptosis. Summarizing the current evidence regarding the usefulness of various apoptotic markers for predicting tumor recurrence, the most extensively studied appear to be bcl-2 and p53, as well as the apoptotic rate itself, with promising prognostic potential in several neoplasias. Investigative results, however, mostly refer to multiple single-center retrospective studies, awaiting validation by large prospective clinical trials. Despite initial optimism, it becomes apparent that the measurement of one or more gene products is inadequate to directly predict a phenomenon as complex as the clinical outcome. One of the challenges that is only beginning to be addressed is the combined assessment of traditional prognostic parameters and molecular biomarkers by creating models or equations to predict the likelihood of recurrence. Such screening of patients may help define prognostic categories and influence treatment decisions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
