Cancer and Aging

  • Mechanisms of Cancer in the Aging Population
  • Geriatric Oncology: Tailoring Treatments for Older Adults
  • Interactions Between Aging and Cancer Therapies
  • Epigenetic Changes in Aging and Cancer

Aging is a significant risk factor for cancer, with the majority of cases occurring in individuals over 50. The relationship between aging and cancer is rooted in biological changes, such as the accumulation of genetic mutations, impaired DNA repair mechanisms, and a decline in immune system efficiency. These changes create an environment where abnormal cells can thrive and proliferate.

Additionally, chronic inflammation, often associated with aging, contributes to the development of cancer by promoting a pro-tumor microenvironment. Research focusing on the interplay between aging and cancer aims to uncover targeted therapies and preventative strategies. By addressing the unique challenges posed by aging, scientists hope to enhance cancer treatments, improve early detection, and promote healthier aging for at-risk populations. This vital area of study bridges oncology and gerontology, advancing holistic patient care.
