This common outcome is somewhat unexpected, as cancer is marked primarily by uncontrolled cell division, an immortal cellular state. In 1961, cellular aging was first described by Hayflick and Moorhead. They showed that human cells in culture do not divide indefinitely but reach a limit (called the Hayflick limit) of replication and stop all further division. Cells approach this limit by slowing their divisions and entering cellular senescence, a dormant period.
