Cancer in older people

Small microscopic cancers of the prostate were very common in males
Lung and stomach cancer were seen in many cases both in males and females
Lung cancer of the type of adenocarcinoma, was found often and was commoner in females than males
Multiple cancers arising in different organs at the same time was not an uncommon feature
Lesions regarded as precursors to cancers were often observed in stomach, colon and lungs
The rate of growth of cancers in general was slow
