title: Activity of telomerase in ovarian cancer cells. Clinical implications.
abstract: Estimation of telomerase activity in cell nuclei of ovarian malignant tumours may provide an independent prognostic index. The test for telomerase activity in tumour cell nuclei may be accepted as a useful diagnostic test with application for differential diagnoses of benign ovarian tumours vs tumours of a borderline or malignant character.
