RealFeedApp Study reveals risks of early death
New research suggests chemotherapy may accelerate biological aging beyond chronological age and increase the risk of earlier death from other causes. This is the first study to estimate the lifetime balance of curing breast cancer versus potential acceleration of biological aging using population-based simulation modeling.
- Field
- cancer research
- What they did
- Researchers from Georgetown University used population-based simulation modeling to estimate how breast cancer chemotherapy affects biological aging and the risk of early death from other causes.
- Why it matters
- These findings could help determine if interventions that slow or reverse biological aging can improve long-term health for breast cancer survivors.
