## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Maintenance of telomeres, in most instances by reactivation of telomerase, is obligatory for the indefinite proliferation of tumor cells. The objective of this study was to evaluate telomere length and telomerase activity (TA) as markers for progression and prognosis in
## Abstract Neuroblastoma (NB) is an embryonal tumour of neuroectodermal cells, and its prognosis is based on patient age at diagnosis, tumour stage and __MYCN__ amplification, but it can also be classified according to their degree of methylation. Considering that epigenetic aberrations could infl
## Abstract ## Background. Telomerase activity has been found to be associated with many cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). We examined the association of telomerase activity with the clinical outcome of patients with HNSCC. ## Methods. A PCRβbased enzyme immunoass
