Telomerase in lung cancer. Testing the activity of the 'immortality enzyme' in bronchial brush biopsies increases the diagnostic yield in cases of suspected peripheral bronchogenic carcinomas;Telomeraseaktivitat beim bronchialkarzinom. Der nachweis des 'unsterblichkeitsenzyms' in burstenbiopsien erhoht die diagnostische ausbeute bei verdacht auf ein peripheres karzinom
