A quantitative model of cellular senescence influence on cancer and longevity.

Abstract excerpt

Contrary to the paradigm that cancer incidence increases indefinitely with age, significant data now suggest cancer incidence may markedly reduce beyond age 80 years for humans and beyond 800 days for mice, and is not inevitable. We show that increasing cellular senescence with age is a possible cause of this reduction, since senescent cells are removed from the pool of cells that retain proliferative ability...
