Replacing thread.Abort()

I'm looking at some very old code from .net 3.5 which has a bunch of .Abort() calls like this:

if (someThread.IsAlive == true)
{
    someThread.Abort();
}

someThread = new Thread(() => SomeFunction(cancellationToken));
someThread.IsBackground = ture;

if (someThread.IsAlive == true)
{
    someThread.Abort();
}

someThread = new Thread(() => SomeFunction(cancellationToken));
someThread.IsBackground = ture;

Would it make sense to just switch these to tasks or is there a different replacement I can make? The most likely scenario is that these run for a long time (possibly days) if that matters.
