    In the past, sharks have been said to be cancer-resistant. This fact is a myth. Sharks can get melanoma, a form of skin cancer. The mortality rate of cancer in animals is similar to that suffered by human beings. However, not all animals get cancer. Peto's Paradox. Normally, old and damaged cells are destroyed. However, in cancer, old and ...

    In trying to find a cure for cancer, where better to look than the animals that experience very low rates of the disease, or don't get it at all? That's the thinking behind new research into elephants and naked mole rats, which scientists are hoping could point the way towards better treatments in humans. ... The root cause of cancer is a ...

    At the other end of the scale, there are animals that very rarely get cancer. Bowhead whales are the longest living mammals 3. In May 2007, a bowhead whale caught off the Alaskan coast was found to have the head of a harpoon buried in its blubber. The harpoon was manufactured between 1879 and 1885, making the whale somewhere between 115 and 130 ...

And despite misleading myths that sharks are cancer-free, it turns out they can get a form of skin cancer called melanoma. However there are exceptions. A few animals don't seem to get cancer very often, or at all.
  6. Nov 6, 2024In 1977, Sir Richard Peto, FRS, FAACR, postulated that larger animals with longer lifespans should develop cancer more readily than their smaller, shorter-lived companions.Since cancer is driven largely by errors in DNA replication, animals with more cells and more time to accumulate mutations should also develop more cancer, he argued.
  7. Although they are quite ugly and confined to a life underground, naked mole rats have at least one attribute that other animals, even humans, might aspire to: They don't get cancer. Now, researchers have discovered that the secret to this rodent's good health is a complex sugar that helps keeps cells from clumping together and forming tumors ...
