title: [Relationship between the expression of bcl-2 apoptosis and acute myelogenous leukemia prognosis].
abstract: In order to check the anti-apoptosis gene bcl-2 protein expression in 58 AML patients we used the immunohistochemical method, and analyse the relationship between bcl-2 protein and prognosis of AML. The result showed that the high expression of bcl-2 protein was related to poor clinical prognosis of AML. This shows that the expression of bcl-2 gene can serve as an index for the prognosis of AML.
