"The relevance of senescence for cancer protection can be rationalized if senescence is considered as a stress-induced barrier that limits the proliferative potential of damaged cells. In keeping with this notion, recent data have shown that there are abundant senescent cells within tumours, thus moving these observations from the realm of the plastic plate into the arena of real cancer biology"
