To assess the role of telomerase in the development of liposarcomas, we measured telomerase activity in 36 malignant and seven benign lipomatous neoplasias from 34 patients. A sensitive polymerase chain reactionbased telomerase assay (the telomeric repeat amplification protocol) was applied. Shorten
## BACKGROUND. Telomerase activity has been shown to be increased in numerous tumors and cell lines, although to the authors' knowledge there has been no previous assessment of telomerase activity in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To examine whether telomerase activity could be used as a biochemical p
