During cancer treatment, commonly used chemotherapy drugs cause profound side effects that include pain, nausea, heart problems, hair loss and can affect almost every system in the body. Even after chemotherapy treatment has stopped, cancer survivors face an increased risk of diseases which resemble the effects of old age. We are testing newly discovered anti-ageing molecules for their ability to reduce these side effects, and drastically improve the quality of life for cancer patients.

在癌症治疗过程中，常用的化疗药物会引起严重的副作用，包括疼痛、恶心、心脏问题、脱发，几乎会影响身体的每一个系统。即使在化疗停止后，癌症幸存者也面临着类似老年影响的疾病风险增加。我们正在测试新发现的抗衰老分子减少这些副作用的能力，并大大提高癌症患者的生活质量。
