In line with the observation of the present research, Wattanathamsan et al. (2018) stated in a study performed on the mechanism of cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer cell line NCI-H460 that this medicine induces apoptosis in these cells by inhibiting the BIRC5 gene, an anti-apoptotic gene. Here, BIRC5 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
