Lifetime cancer prevalence and life history traits in mammals

1 Jan 2020

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cancer is a common diagnosis in many mammalian species, yet they vary in their vulnerability to cancer. The factors driving this variation are unknown, but life history theory offers potential explanations to why cancer defense mechanisms are not equal across species. METHODOLOGY: Here we report the prevalence of neoplasia and malignancy in 37 mammalian species, representing 11 mammalian orders, using...
