Telomere comprises of TTAGGG repeats and its lack of functionality results in promoting cancer through driving genetic instability. It is evident that they protect chromosomal ends and conserve our genetic information. This review discusses various laboratory methods of telomere length measurement. Understanding more about how these methods work and can be modified, they can be universalized in terms of their use all over the globe. Regardless of whether telomere length quantification has a direct or indirect association with cancer progression/ prevention, its assessment has been shown to hold promise for better prognosis and reliable biomarker which allow the better assessment in early identification and therapeutic responses.
