Abstract excerpt

Telomere shortening is a common event involved in malignant transformation. Critically short telomeres may trigger chromosomal aberrations and produce genomic instability leading to cancer development. Therefore, telomere shortening is a frequent molecular alteration in early stages of many epith...
