I used to have rats.
I know some people are fanatic about their rats and will spend small fortunes on their geriatic care.
Getting cancer is a drawback with keeping rats. I thought if I only had well bred pet bred rats I wouldn't have to worry about cancer, I was wrong and many of my rats got cancer anyways.
Most socialized rats and well mannered and will never bite. A few bad apples will snap and start biting.
I had one well loved rat raised by me since a pinkie and one day and he snapped and bite me deeply on the hand. I have a small scar from it. From what I've heard this is very rare.
Most biting rats have not been socialized or were abused.

ok both in mice and rats it has been shown that woodchip beddings are more likely to cause tumors in rats and mice its better to go with recycled paper for bedding...the average life span is between two to three years...if your really worried and she isnt doing well humanely put her to sleep if her quality of life is not great.
