The cancer aging interface: a research agenda

J Clin Oncol. 2007 May 10;25(14):1945-8. doi: 10.1200/JCO.2007.10.6807.

Abstract

There are substantial knowledge gaps in our understanding of the relationships between cancer and aging. These include areas of basic biology, societal aspects, and clinical aspects. Recommendations for research agendas in each of these areas are offered. In addition, the need for training investigators to work at this interface is addressed.
