Telomere Length in Peripheral Blood Predicts Survival in Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma
25 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Telomeres are repetitive structures located at chromosome ends. Previous studies have indicated that blood cell telomeres may serve as a biomarker for cancer risk. In addition, we recently reported that blood telomere length predicted survival in patients with breast cancer. In the present study, we examined whether blood telomere length may act as a predictor for survival in newly diagnosed patients with clear...
