    You get cancer all the time your body has natural mechanisms of finding and breaking down the cancerous cells. As we age some of these mechanisms start to falter, cells divide, but small errors over time accumulate.

    A youth serum is really not the goal, the goal is fixing errors in these systems, maintaining current functions and creating a new mechanism.

    This would work like a booster for this mechanisms and effectively make it possible to maintain and improve these systems. The side effect being an increase lifespan to some degree.

    I suppose this I just the cancer component, but several other things are still needed on the field of longevity research for a “youth serum” to be viable.
