the phase of extensive chromosome instability and cell death that occurs when cells with critically short telomeres keep dividing, from which rare telomerase-expressing cells escape.

In oncology, telomere crisis refers to the phase of extensive chromosome instability and cell death that occurs when cells with critically short telomeres keep dividing, from which rare telomerase-expressing cells escape. This meaning comes from Counter (1992) in The EMBO Journal.[1]
