It depends. Some good (for ex. immune) cells die or are worn out because of shortened telomeres. So extending them would mean - increased protection from cancer at the same time. It's complicated. The best would be to just replenish stem cell pools as it's the core of where everything "begins" in regards to sustaining a healthy body.
Problem is that, if I am not mistaken, most cancer cells begin to both outnumber and out-power immune cells meant to eradicate cancer cells.
To make matters worse, I believe scientists have mostly targeted Telomerase in order to try and stop the lengthening of telomeres, but have found that in response to their efforts, most tumors will simply resort to ALT - Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres, sort of their bypass mechanism to allow for cancer proliferation.
I haven't read too much on the latest Stem Cell research, as there seems to still be too much political red tape slowing down all fronts of progress within the scientific community (morality-God fearing politicians with no medical or scientific background
vs science).
Anyhow, I don't use any of that stuff (Hormones of any kind).
