Background and Objectives: Activation of telomerase and stabilization of telomeres are considered necessary for immortalization of tumor cells. Telomerase activity was analyzed in 69 hepatocellular carcinomas and adjacent chronic liver disease tissues. The telomerase activity level was examined in r
Precise diagnosis of well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is sometimes difficult to establish. Telomerase activity was examined by telomeric-repeat-amplification protocol (TRAP) in 37 HCC nodules smaller than 3 cm in diameter, including 24 fine-needle-aspiration biopsy specimens, 22 no
