Survivin, a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein family, is an attractive target for cancer therapy. We investigated the effects of YM155, a small molecule inhibitor of survivin expression, on the radiosensitivity of human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines and elucidated a relationship between the cellular localization of survivin and DNA double-strand break repair.
