Seems potentially related - it discussed this idea in part of it:
> Maybe it’s both, but Lane suspects we pay too little attention to the latter possibility. He argues that it might explain the outsized correlation between cancer and aging. From age twenty-four to fifty, your risk of cancer increases ninety-fold, and it continues to grow exponentially from there. A popular hypothesis holds that the root cause of this mounting risk is the accumulation of genetic mutations. But some scientists have argued that the rate of accumulation isn’t nearly fast enough to explain the extraordinary trajectory that cancer risk takes over a lifetime. Nor does the gene’s-eye view explain why some tumors stop growing when moved into a different environment. For Lane, these facts suggest that cancer is best thought of as a derangement of metabolism.
