Table 1 Telomeres and telomerase: outstanding questions regarding their role in the genesis and progression of colorectal cancer
Is the shortening of telomeres an early or late event in colorectal carcinogenesis? |
Does telomere shortening play a role in genomic instability? |
Do telomere lengths correlate with telomerase expression/activity? |
Do telomere lengths correlate with disease progression? |
Do levels of telomerase expression/activity increase with disease progression? |
Do telomere and/or telomerase act as prognostic markers for disease outcome? |
