Telomere is the end structure of chromosome and it will be shortened during replication. Telomerase is a reverse transcripatse consisting of both RNA and protein components and synthesizes telomeric DNA by copying the template sequence of its own RNA components to maintain telomere length for function.Telomerase activity in germline cells,immortal and neoplastic cells was detected,but not in mostly normal cells.The telomere-telomerase hypothesis was brung out to explain this phenomenon.According to this hypothesis,re-actived telomerase will maintain telomere's length for protecting chromosome to make the cell immortal.The aging procedure will be explained by this hypothesis too.This hypothesis provides a new concepts of cancer and cancer's treatment.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of platinum-based chemotherapy in elderly patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Clinical data of forty-one elderly patients (≥70 years) with advanced NSCLC who were treated by platinum-based chemotherapy were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 41 patients, 18 (43.9%) patientswere treated with vinorelbine, 9 (22.0%) patients with gemcitabine, 7 (17.1%) patients with paclitaxel and docetaxel respectively. The overall response rate was 19.5%. The median time to progression (MTTP) was 5.8 months, and 1-year survival rate was 65.8% with a median survival time (MST) of 14.2 months. No significant statistical differences were found among the four regimens. The major side effect was bone marrow suppression. Three patients withdrew chemotherapy after one cycle due to grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression. There was no death associated with chemotherapy. Conclusions The platinum-based combined chemotherapy is effective and well-tolerated in elderly patients with advanced NSCLC.
