Thymus May Be Critical for Longevity and Cancer Immunotherapy Response

#1

At a glance

  • Imaging studies of more than 27,000 adults link a healthier thymus on CT scans with a longer life and lower risks of cardiovascular disease and lung cancer.
  • Across 3,400 cancer patients, thymic health strongly predicted immunotherapy response and survival, beyond standard tumor biomarkers.
  • Smoking, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and chronic inflammation were tied to poorer thymic health, pointing to potentially modifiable drivers of immune aging.

Nice.
After 1year of daily 3-4 iu HGH injections…
I should have my Thymus CT scan soon.

Cost almost $8,000. Not cheap.

Looking forward to seeing your results. I just started my version of this protocol, and will try to keep igf1 z-score at 1.5 - 2.

But man, that 8k is high.
