Breast and prostate cancers are primarily driven by hormonal factors and become more prevalent in later decades of age.

“breast cancer and prostate cancer are not related to well obviously ultraviolet light or smoking so much I mean a little bit of smoking influence on breast cancer risk but um but there it's um you know this really interesting interplay between um you know these these hormone receptors uh you know kind of being hijacked or co-opted in a way and you think about the way in which those cancers form I think it it best fits your um you know kind of this age like you know cardiovascular disease and regenerative disease I would argue like there's there's something at play there that's similar to these hormone-driven cancers which are very age-related so breast cancer and prostate cancer really pick up in those later Decades of age”
