Not exactly, subby. The idea is not to prevent the ability of cells to turn senescent but to zap them after they become senescent. The prevention of cancer only requires that the cells are able to become senescent. After they do, who cares what happens to them.

Good thing we have bright people like that working on the problems of the world.
