Telomerase has recently come into the limelight as one of the most prevalent tumour markers, due to its nearly ubiquitous presence in malignant tissues and absence from most somatic tissues. The essential role of telomeres in unlimited cell proliferation and that of the enzyme in telomere maintenance have suggested that telomerase inhibitors may be effective in cancer therapy. We provide here a compendium and an evaluation of the available data relating to this hypothesis.
