A take-home message from this research may be that the immunosenescent phenotype in the elderly, while associated with an increased rate of infections and a diminished effect of vaccines, and increased cancer susceptibility may be promoted by cancer and /or chemotherapy to cure the cancer. Both cancer and chemotherapy contribute to immune compromise and potential for gene mutations and epigenetic phenomena.
