Answer:

With aging, our immune system weakens and may fail to target some of those precancerous cells

Step-by-step explanation:

just like how we get old, we get slower, our metabolism starts to weaken and everything just starts to slowly fade away. but the good news is that if you treat your body well and your healthy and active your whole life this may not happen.

hope this helps :)
