    In Canada's St Lawrence estuary, intestinal cancer is the second most common cause of death for beluga whales: 27% are affected. 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.
  5. 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.
  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.

    Oct 29, 2024In the last 10 years, Maley and colleagues have sought to rectify this, examining more than 16,000 necropsy records from 292 vertebrate species to get a more complete picture of animal cancer rates.
  8. Sep 3, 2023Firstly, Peto's Paradox doesn't assert that large animals or long-lived species don't get cancer at all. Instead, the paradox is centered around the observation that these animals don't seem to get cancer as often as we'd expect, given the number of cells they have and their long lifespans.
