Aging health, 2011•Taylor & FrancisThe incidence of most common cancers increases with age. This occurs in association with,
and is possibly caused by a decline in immune function, termed immune senescence.
Although the size of the T-cell compartment is quantitatively maintained into older age,
several deleterious changes (including significant changes to T-cell subsets) occur over time
that significantly impair immunity. This article highlights some of the recent findings
regarding the aging immune system, with an emphasis on the T-cell compartment and its …
