N2 - There is a constant balance in cancer cells between division and death. The malignant phenotype is associated with a continuing cell cycle or 'immortalization'. Telomeres, structures that cap the chromosomes, are related to cell longevity and are regulated by a ribonucleoprotein called telomerase. This review describes the possible roles of telomeres and telomerase in the malignant process.
