I got pancreatic cancer. When I went to treatment, I found that most of the patients were elderly people. Why are elderly people more likely to get cancer?

    The elderly are a group of people with a high incidence of cancer. This is because with the increase of age, T lymphocytes in the body decrease and the body's resistance decreases. T lymphocytes are loyal guards of the human body, especially the elderly, and they play a unique immune surveillance role.
