Telomere Length and Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase Expression As Markers for Progression and Prognosis of Colorectal Carcinoma
13 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Maintenance of telomeres through reactivation of telomerase is a prerequisite for tumors to preserve their ability to proliferate. The purpose of this study was to evaluate telomere length and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression as markers for progression and prognosis of colorectal carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Telomere length and hTERT expression were analyzed in matched cancer...
