CIAPIN1 and non-small cell lung carcinoma: CIAPIN1 could be considered a potentially significant prognostic indicator for NSCLC patients, which might be useful for clinicians to provide individualized therapy for NSCLC patients with optimal benefit, while a study by other research groups demonstrated that CIAPIN1 expression has a prognostic value in several human tumors [26, 29, 30] and revealed that patients with high levels of CAIPIN1 nuclear expression displayed shorter postoperative survival times than those with weak nuclear expression.
