## Abstract Immortalized and cancer cells maintain their telomeres by activation of a telomere maintenance mechanism (TMM). In βΌ85% of cancers telomerase is activated (TA) but in some tumours, in particular sarcomas, an alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway is used. Liposarcomas are th
## Abstract Two types of telomere maintenance mechanisms (TMMs) have been described in human tumors: telomerase activation and alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). Although the vast majority of epithelial tumors rely on telomerase activation, many mesenchymal tumors rely on ALT for telomere
## Abstract DNA microarrays have the potential to classify tumors according to their transcriptome. Tissue microarrays (TMAs) facilitate the validation of biomarkers by offering a highβthroughput approach to sample analysis. We reanalyzed a high profile breast cancer DNA microarray dataset containi
