You are right on the mechanism, wrong on the solution. The problem is that senescent cells (aging) are an evolved response to prevent cancer - basically aging is an anti-oncogenic system. Remove the senescent cells and you will die of cancer at a young age.

Aging and cancer are tightly intertwined and you can't cure aging without first curing cancer.
