Conclusion
It is clear that cancer will continue to be a major
health challenge in the future, and with the
knowledge that the incidence of cancer increases
exponentially with age, the main increase in cancer
will concern older people. Technological advances
in genetics and other areas of science have resulted
in great expectations about the future of cancer
detection, diagnosis, personalised therapies and
surveillance. Evidence suggests that the coming years
will yield further genetic advances that will affect
daily cancer care and guide therapeutic decisions
