A recent article in the journal Nature reported mice that had a mutation that reduced cancer but also substantially (20%) reduced their lifespan. This gives further evidence that a fine balance needs to be maintained between these two processes for any serious attempts at life extension.

A summary of the article can be found at http://www.immortality.org
