MCL1 and adenocarcinoma: An imbalance between antiapoptotic proteins (such as Bcl-2, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1) and proapoptotic proteins (such as Bax and Bcl-xs) is involved in the distinctive biological features of adenocarcinomas [15].In epithelial ovarian cancer, anti-apoptosis proteins Bcl-2, Bcl-XL and Mcl-1 are highly over-expressed [9-12].
