Abstract excerpt
Abstract BACKGROUND Telomere maintenance has been proposed as an essential step for tumor cell immortalization. The objectives of the current study were to investigate the mechanisms implicated in telomere length in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) and to evaluate the prognostic impact of telomere status. METHODS Ninety‐one colorectal carcinoma samples that were obtained from patients who underwent surgery were...
