Aim: To detect telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression in tissue and metastatic
and non-metastatic lymph node samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer; to …

Telomerase has been reported to be a novel diagnostic marker for malignant diseases and
has been recently proven to be composed of three main components, hTR (human …

Activation of telomerase plays a critical role in unlimitedproliferation and immortalization of
cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of human telomerase …

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic
relevance of human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) detected in situ in patients …

Background: Qualitative and quantitative analysis of circulating DNA in blood is a promising
non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic tool. Our aim was to study the association between …

Background: The catalytic subunit of telomerase, hTERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase),
is one of the most important components of telomerase, and performs a pivotal role in the …

Telomerase activity and telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression are elevated
in human malignancies. We have investigated telomerase activity measured by the …

Telomerase, undetectable in normal somatic cells, plays a critical role in carcinogenesis of
the majority of human tumors including lung carcinoma. The aim of our study was to …

Human telomerase reverse transcriptase is a ribonucleoprotein that synthesises telomeric
sequences, which decrease at each cell division. In cancer cells, its activity is linked to …

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of human
telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA expression and telomerase activity as …
