Age Related Factors in Carcinogenesis

Morbidity and mortality rates due to cancer are higher in older age groups, and scientists have long theorized a relationship between the aging process and cancer development. In this volume, scientists from the USSR, the USA, the UK, Scandinavia, Germany and Japan present various viewpoints concerning this relationship, addressing it within immunological, hormonal, physiological, biochemical, kinetic and metabolic frameworks. Studies are described at the subcellular and cellular levels, in experimental animals and epidemiologically in humans.
