Relationship of cancer and aging
Clin Geriatr Med.
1987 Aug.
Abstract
The major risk factor for cancer is progressive age. Molecular advances in our understanding of carcinogenesis and the aging process are helping to clarify this relationship. The magnitude of cancer in the elderly warrants institution of an active prevention program by clinicians caring for this population.
