## BACKGROUND. Telomerase activation is thought to be crucial for the continued growth or progression of cancer cells. Three major subunits of human telomerase, human telomerase RNA (hTR), telomerase-associated protein (TP1), and human telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT) have been identified rece

Telomerase activity has been found in a variety of malignant tumors but only rarely in benign tumors or normal tissues. In this study, we investigated telomerase activation in 37 ovarian tumors, including benign, borderline and malignant neoplasms. Telomerase activity was detected using the telomeri
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The stabilization of telomere lengths by telomerase activation is an important step in carcinogenesis and cell immortalization. Human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) is the catalytic subunit of this enzyme. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of r
## BACKGROUND. Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein that synthesizes telomeres. It is detected in more than 85% of samples obtained from cancer tissues, including urologic neoplasia. The authors determined telomerase activity semiquantatively and in-cell telomerase activity in exfoliated urothelial c
