Blood Telomere Length Attrition and Cancer Development in the Normative Aging Study Cohort

Blood Telomere Length Attrition and Cancer Development in the Normative Aging Study Cohort

Background: Accelerated telomere shortening may cause cancer via chromosomal instability, making it a potentially useful biomarker. However, publications on blood telomere length (BTL) and cancer are inconsistent. We prospectively examined BTL measures over time and cancer incidence. Methods: We inc...
