Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 http://www.gen.cam.ac.uk/sens/SENS3.htm "All other aspects of age-related degeneration and disease, including several that are at present just as immutable as the nastiest cancers, have recently been authoritatively stated to have a good chance of being comprehensively combated -- not just delayed by a decade or so -- with technology that could be developed in mice within a decade and in humans maybe not very long thereafter [ls NY Acad Sci 959:452-462; BioEssays 24:667-676]. If this occurs, and unless progress against cancer is hugely more rapid in the next few decades than in the past few, cancer will be by far the leading cause of death thereafter. It is thus reasonable to plan -- now -- for the unpleasant contingency that currently promising innovations in cancer therapy will fare little better than those of recent decades, and to design and evaluate options that are technologically a lot further away but should, if successful, combat cancer to the much greater extent foreseeable for other aspects of aging and age-related disease.
