## BACKGROUND. Iodine-nonreactive lesions of esophageal epithelium often are associated with dysplasia and carcinoma. The authors examined the usefulness of telomerase activity as an indicator for esophageal carcinogenesis in such lesions.

## Background: In this study, telomerase activity in human brain tumors was analyzed. ## Methods: Telomerase activity was examined in 41 brain tumor cases (20 of glioblastoma multiformes [gbms] [14 primary tumors and 6 recurrent tumors], 3 anaplastic astrocytomas [aas], 4 low grade astrocytomas [
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
