Telomerase : a tumor marker in the peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients (2008)
Thesis
Khair, G. (2008). Telomerase : a tumor marker in the peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211034

Colorectal cancer (CRC) recurrence after curable resection is still high. This fact strongly suggests that the dissemination of circulating tumour cells (CTC) occurs early in the disease process. The first clinical results obtained suggest that CTC d... Read More about Telomerase : a tumor marker in the peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients.
