title: Neurodegenerative disease and cancer: two sides of a coin?
abstract: The mechanisms underlying disruption of physiologic cell-death programs are slowly being revealed. Information gleaned from genetic profiles soon may allow physicians to delay onset of many silent, age-related diseases. While development of actual cures could prove elusive, simply postponing clinical onset would have an impressive effect on the goal of healthy aging.
