Common cancer in a wild animal: the California sea lion ( <i>Zalophus californianus</i> ) as an emerging model for carcinogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Naturally occurring cancers in non-laboratory species have great potential in helping to decipher the often complex causes of neoplasia. Wild animal models could add substantially to our understanding of carcinogenesis, particularly of genetic and environmental interactions, but they are currently underutilized. Studying neoplasia in wild animals is difficult and especially challenging in marine mammals owing to...
