Impact of khat (Catha edulis) and oral contraceptive use on telomerase levels and tumor suppressor genes p53 and p21 in normal subjects and breast cancer patients.

Study found OC use, khat chewing increase telomerase, p53, p21 in breast cancer patients. OCs increase telomerase in controls. Khat chewing is protective. Combination decreases telomerase risk in BC patients.
