Ageing reduces cancer risk after 85 years! Stanford mice study reveals how age protects against cancer

New Stanford research reveals older mice surprisingly developed fewer, smaller tumours, challenging the notion that cancer risk solely escalates with age. This suggests ageing itself might activate protective mechanisms against tumour growth, a phenomenon also seen in very elderly humans. The study emphasizes incorporating age into cancer research for more effective treatments.
