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

## Background: Shortening of telomeres occurs with each cell division and eventually results in cell death. the activity of telomerase, an enzyme that catalyzes telomere elongation, has been detected in germ cell lines and cancer cells, and has been detected in immortal cell lines but not in normal
## BACKGROUND. Telomerase activity has been observed in 80 -90% of carcinomas derived from various organs. However, to the authors' knowledge this report is the first assessment of telomerase activity in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). ## METHODS. Telomerase activity was analyzed by th
## Background: The purpose of the current study was to determine telomerase activity as a sensitive biomarker for the detection of malignant cells in fine-needle aspiration (fna) specimens. ## Methods: Fna specimens with parallel samples of fresh tumor tissue were obtained from surgical specimens
