Can Chemotherapy Worsen Lymphoma?

Possible substantiation of the theory

In an unrelated research study, published in 2012, it was determined that “senescent cells accumulate with age, creating a tissue microenvironment that is permissive for the development, or at least the progression, of cancer. Senescent cells may also promote cancer initiation.”

That research study is entitled Aging, Cellular Senescence, and Cancer; Judith Campisi, Buck Institute for Research on Aging, Novato, California 94945. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California 94720.
