Many, though obviously not all, cancers can be attributed directly to the effects of aging. More specifically damage caused to the DNA in cells by free radicals. Not only would this type of damage be seriously reduced with retro-aging drugs but the advances in stem cell therapies would allow new organs to be grown for people who did get sick.

This is also not including the fact that cancer treatments are improving year-on-year.
