UCLA study finds breast cancer treatments linked to accelerated cellular aging in survivors.

A UCLA study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reveals that breast cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, may accelerate cellular aging in survivors. Markers such as DNA damage and cellular senescence were significantly elevated, which could lead to issues like fatigue, cognitive decline, and cardiovascular disease. The findings underscore the need for further research to better understand these effects and improve survivors' quality of life.
