Recently, shortened telomere length and increased telomerase activity have been demonstrated in various human cancers. In the study reported here, we ascertained whether gene changes are characteristic of pancreatic cancers. Hamster duct carcinomas and cell lines were investigated by Southern blot a
## Abstract Telomerase activity is detectable in most human tumors but not in most normal somatic cells or tissues. Telomerase inhibition has, therefore, been proposed as a novel and potentially selective strategy for antitumor therapy. In the present study, we found that platinum compounds, includ
