Survivin is type of inhibitor of the apoptosis protein family (Ambrosini et al., 1997), which is expressed in multiple types of cancers including ovarian (Chen et al., 2013), gastric (Meng et al., 2013), non-small- (Xu et al., 2012) and small-cell (Chen et al., 2014) lung, and breast cancer (Tanaka et al., 2000) but is undetectable in normal tissues (Chen et al., 2004).
