Evolutionary aspects of cancer resistance.

Seminars in cancer biology - 1 Apr 2014

Klein George

Abstract excerpt

Humans are relatively cancer resistant, as judged by the absence of cancer in two thirds of the population. The susceptibility/resistance of other mammalians varies but shows no relationship to body size. Selection for longevity and cancer resistance may occur in parallel, as indicated by the extremely long lived and cancer free mole rat species. Microenvironmental control may play a major role in the defense...
