With few exceptions, cancer is a disease of aging. Older people are much
More likely than young people to develop cancer And many cancers grow
Extremely slowly, if they grow and spread at all. Some even disappear ond
Their own. “Most common cancer screenings will detect cancer that wouldn’t
Have caused a medical problem or deatg,” Kramer says. In other words,
Many people with cancer will die from other causes long be fore the cancer
Ever makes them sick.
