Epigenetic aging: more than just a clock when it comes to cancer

M Yu, WD Hazelton, GE Luebeck, WM Grady - Cancer research, 2020 - AACR
The incidence of cancer, adjusted for secular trends, is directly related to age, and advanced
chronologic age is one of the most significant risk factors for cancer. Organismal aging is …
