Peto, J. (2011). That lung cancer incidence falls in ex-smokers: misconceptions 2. British Journal of Cancer, 104(3): 389.
The accumulation of age-associated changes in a biochemical process that helps control genes may be responsible for some of the increased risk of cancer seen in older people, according to a National Institutes of Health study.
