Age-specific acceleration of cancer.

Current biology : CB - 3 Feb 2004

Frank Steven A

Abstract excerpt

One of the great challenges of cancer research is to explain the epidemiological patterns of cancer incidence based on the molecular processes that lead to uncontrolled cellular proliferation. The epidemiological data demonstrate that the age-specific incidence of many cancers increases in an approximately linear way with age when plotted on a log-log scale, with different slopes for different cancers. However,...
