By that time the cancer just can't be bothered any more.

If you haven't got it by then, you're probably just really resistant to cancer.

not everyone gets it. simple as that. my family has practically zero history of it. we have heart and thyroid problems and typically die in old age of heart failure. people who are susceptible typically will get it in their late 70s, early 80s. that's all.

That's surprising since DNA mutations comulate over the time and chances are supposed to be increasing.

Maybe offset by slower cellular reproduction at that age?

>>8843644
obviously because most people are dead at 100

People pre-disposed to cancer tend to get it and die off, leaving the remainder of people who will age, mostly cancer-free, unless a mutation gets them with a random cancer or a bus hits them.

A hopeful sign -- maybe 4chan is aging through the "cancer zone" and will become relatively cancer-free in a few more years.

Cancer is a result of old age genetics just like tons of shit, its why dogs and cats can get cancer at like 9 years old.

Some people just dont suffer from the geriatric changes that make cancer more likely. Maybe we could study this.

Because you will have been born before the government forced you to be vaccinated! I bet these old people also haver very low rates of autism!

Well they're not gonna get it at 75 now are they?

Unless we're talking dog years.

it's probably just a statistical artifact with some biological basis. As people said in the thread already, if there's a correlation between living 100+ yo and good genetics, it's very unlikely that these people develop cancer

Maybe their telomeres being shorter makes them less likely to get cancer.
