Abstract
The study on the relationship between telomerase and tumor become one of hotspots in biology because of its function in tumorigenesis. We reviewed the changes of telomerase activity of cancer cells irradiated by different radiations, especially heavy ion. Meanwhile, because of contradictory results, we should be cautious to the application of telomerase inhibition to kill tumor cell and thought deeply about evaluating the killing effect of adiotherapy by telomerase activity index.
