Exploring Caspase-3 overexpression in pheochromocytoma cells: Implications for cancer therapy.

Malignant pheochromocytomas are infrequent tumors that have a poorer prognosis compared to their benign counterparts. The administration of chemotherapy to patients with pheochromocytoma can result in adverse side effects and a reduced life quality. Alternative and more targeted treatment strategies, such as gene therapy significantly improve the patients' survival rate and life expectancy.
