## BACKGROUND. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that compensates for the erosion of telomeres (chromosomal termini). Telomerase activity is detected in more than 85% of cancerous lesions and is therefore considered a novel marker of cancer. The authors compared cytologic morphology and telomerase
## Background: The authors have noted that in cervical cytology specimens from perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, the diagnosis of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (asc-us), as defined in the bethesda system, is often not associated with a clinically evident lesion on foll
## Abstract Cytologic features of squamous intraepithelial lesions (SIL) can mimic those of invasive squamousβcell carcinoma. We compare and correlate the cytological findings of 19 falseβpositive squamousβcell carcinomas with followβup cone biopsies or hysterectomy specimens to define which type o
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and microvessel density (MVD) are important parameters for assessing the malignant potential of tumors and patient survival. In this report, the authors defined LVD as the density of D2β40βpositive lymphatic vessels and MVD as the density o
