Is telomere length a prognostic factor in neuroblastoma?
The results of this investigation suggested that telomere length is a highly significant prognostic parameter of clinical relevance in patients with neuroblastoma. In high-risk patients, telomere length was the sole significant parameter that identified a group of patients who had a favorable prognosis. The authors suggest that telomere length should be included in the recommended diagnostic investigations for patients with neuroblastoma.
Our results show that independent of the primary risk factors, elevated hsCRP levels are associated with UACR.
