Abstract
Cellular immortality is a hallmark of cancer. The recent identification of telomerase, an enzyme associated with cellular immortality, at multiple points along the continuum of multistep carcinogenesis has created considerable interest in its potential for the early detection of carcinogenesis ( 1 , 2 ) .Keywords
