Any biologist present can help clear this doubt?

Ok so i was reading on some papers about human telomerase reverse transcriptase, and this group
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3449956/pdf/10616_2004_Article_5123.pdf
managed to "Immortalize cells"

and as i kept reading this kept on coming up, cell immortalization
of course i know this refers to cultivated human cells and this seems to be promising in cancer research...

but couldnt you also use hTERT to immortalize human cells in vivo? is it even logistically feasible? is it possible even?
it shouldnt cause cancer-related issues, all it should do is allow for indefinite lengthening of the telomeres, which in my limited understanding of human biology equals extended life-span

i am just too stupid to get something here or are all bioquemists not seeing this?
