Abstract: Malignant tumor is a kind of integral disease which is closely related to human aging process. Tumor is the result of dynamic balance disorders between cell damage and human host's ability to repair during aging. Host factors play an important role in the occurrence and development of malignant tumor. We should not only treat human tumors, but also treat the patients with tumors. We should enhance the patient's ability of disease resistance and self-healing. To realize the long-term survival of cancer patients with tumor is an important direction of future cancer research. Delaying aging and preventing malignant tumor have much in common. Anti-aging can effectively delay the occurrence of malignant tumors and reduce their mortality.

Key words: ageing, malignant tumor, survival with tumor, cancer prevention and control
