Leukocyte Telomere Length Predicts Cancer Risk in Barrett's Esophagus

1 Dec 2007

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Leukocyte telomere length has gained attention as a marker of oxidative damage and age-related diseases, including cancer. We hypothesize that leukocyte telomere length might be able to predict future risk of cancer and examined this in a cohort of patients with Barrett's esophagus, who are at increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma and thus were enrolled in a long-term cancer surveillance program....
