ABSTRACT:
Methods for detecting hematologic and colorectal malignancies are provided comprising: (a) collecting a sample suspected of containing cancer cells; (b) analyzing the sample for telomerase activity; (c) correlating the presence of telomerase activity with the presence of cancer cells. A method for staging leukemia is also provided comprising analyzing a blood or bone marrow sample for telomerase activity, correlating the activity with a standard level of telomerase activity, and correlating a low telomerase activity with early stage leukemia.
