For the carcinogen loaded environment we will simply house the mice in Ohio, neighbor to some poorly built fracked natural gas well. On second thought, that might be too cruel, so perhaps we could arrange to just ship some of our water to the vivarium.

Someone should try it in mice--

Giving the immune system more time to deal with the tumors in between the periods of the telomerase therapy may be sufficient in and of itself.Cancer requires a certain amount of susceptibility to the genetic, metabolic, and systemic pre-conditions to facilitate oncogenesis. This tends to occur later in life as certain protection mechanisms degrade from the damages of aging and then the probability of getting cancer falls off in the late life for unexplained reasons.Therefore adding another protection mechanism may be sufficient to significantly alter the landscape for cancer survival, particularly if it translatable to the clinic.Cheers,Joe
