Telomere length and the risk of cutaneous melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer: a review of the literature and meta-analysis
Description: There is much evidence supporting the role of telomeres in cancer pathogenesis, however the studies that investigated the association between telomere length and skin cancer risk provided inconsistent results. To help clarify this issue, this scientific paper's authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published papers on the association between peripheral leukocytes telomere length and the risk of cutaneous melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.
