For example, as a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family, survivin suppresses caspase activation upon X‐ray irradiation of cancer cells, which enables them to evade apoptotic cell death.[25, 26, 27, 28] Survivin also promotes cell cycle progression to avoid G2/M arrest and facilitates DNA repair to scavenge radiation‐induced DSBs.[29] Additionally, survivin affects cancer progression through its involvement in the epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), a critical process in cancer metastasis and therapy resistance. Here, BIRC5 is linked to cancer.
