While cancer risk typically increases with age, research led by Stanford Medicine suggests that the very old may be less vulnerable — and they’re exploring why advanced age could offer protection.
med.stanford.edu
Although cancer incidence rises with age, the very old seem to be at less risk. A study led by Stanford University shows this phenomenon in mice and explores the protective effect of advanced age.
