    The elderly are high-risk populations of cancer. As T lymphocyte activity decreases and the number decreases, the ability to clear cancerous cells becomes weaker and weaker. Therefore, the incidence of malignant tumors in the elderly is high. This shows that as long as the number of T lymphocytes can be increased and the activity is enhanced, the body's ability to fight cancer can be increased.
