We investigated whether the phosphorylated Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) at serine 194 regulated human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression, telomerase activity and cancer progression using prostate cancer cell lines and radical prostatectomy samples taken from patients receiving neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (NHT).
