Integrating epithelial cancer, aging stroma and cellular senescence.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer incidence rises exponentially with age in humans and many other mammalian species. At least two critical changes are essential in order for cancer to develop: an accumulation of oncogenic mutations and a permissive tissue environment in which mutant cells can survive, proliferate, and express their neoplastic phenotype. Increasing evidence suggests that the rise in cancer with age results from a synergy...
