#AACRaging22 Conference Hashtag
AACR Special Conference: Aging and Cancer
As cells age, the risk for genomic instability, DNA damage, inflammation, and somatic mutations increase, increasing the risk for cancerous transformation. On the other hand, some cell aging mechanisms, like senescence, may halt progression of would-be cancerous cells. However, with an aging microenvironment, cancerous mutations can be allowed to run rampant.
