Table 2. Apoptosis markers in tumour cells: percentage of positive cells.

  Melanoma
Colorectal carcinoma
  Median (%) Range Median (%) Range
         
Fas 1.5 0–25 0.5 0–15
FasL 35 0–80 22.5 0–80
Bcl-2 5 0–80 0 0–65
Bax 80 0–90 70 5–90

Apoptosis markers were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining on the tumour cells present in paraffin-embedded surgically removed specimens.
