BIRC5 and prostate cancer: To establish whether there was a correlation between increases in the expression of BIRC6 in prostate cancer and those of other IAP members, the IHC expression profiles of BIRC6, XIAP, survivin and cIAP1 in individual clinical prostate samples (including benign tissue, primary cancer and CRPC) were analyzed for correlations by the Spearman's rank correlation test using GraphPad 4 software.
