Prognostic Relevance of hTERT mRNA Expression in Ductal Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas

Telomerase is thought to play an essential role in tumorigenesis and progression. Its activity is directly correlated with the expression of its catalytic subunit, human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT). A correlation of transcript expression with a poor prognosis has been detected in diffe...
