Abstract

The probability of developing cancer, primarily malignant hemopathies, increases with age. This complex relationship between cancer and aging has been extensively studied; cellular senescence, a protective mechanism in response to DNA damage, can induce permanent growth arrest and resistance to apoptosis. Chronological age also favors the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic changes that are important contributing factors in the complex pathogenesis of cancer. Indeed recent studies have highlighted the role of epigenetics and, in particular, a decline in heterochromatin integrity as important factors contributing to the loss of and stem cell function during HSC aging and in premature aging syndromes. Furthermore, impairment of cancer prevention pathways and the clonal restriction of hematopoietic stem cells observed with age may also contribute to the increased frequency of malignant transformation. However, at present our understanding of the process of aging is far from complete, and many open questions are currently under investigation. This chapter will focus on the complex multistep interplay between aging and the higher incidence of malignant hemopathies.
