Telomere Maintenance Mechanisms in Liposarcomas: Association with Histologic Subtypes and Disease Progression

Abstract excerpt

Human cancer cells maintain telomeres by telomerase activity (TA) or by alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). We proposed to define the prevalence of the two telomere maintenance mechanisms (TMM), to assess their association with histology, and to compare their prognostic relevance in a series of 93 patients with liposarcoma. ALT was detected by assaying ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia nuclear bodies...
