Low level expression of human telomerase reverse transcriptase predicts cancer-related death and progression in embryonal carcinoma

ConclusionWe showed that hTERT protein expression was associated with more aggressive tumor behavior in embryonal carcinoma patients. Also, hTERT may be a novel worse prognostic indicator of DSS or PFS, if the patients are followed up for more time periods.
