This Cancer Grand Challenge aims to uncover the biological mechanisms that allow certain high-risk individuals and extremely aged populations to avoid developing cancer. Despite having significant genetic or environmental risk factors, these individuals remain cancer-free, offering a unique opportunity to explore innate resistance and cancer prevention pathways.
