Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Genetic instability associated with telomere dysfunction (i.e., short telomeres) is an early event in tumorigenesis. We investigated the association between telomere length and cancer risk in four ongoing case-control studies. METHODS: All studies had equal numbers of case patients an...
