The study reveals that elephants and other large species are higher than the rates of cancer, which may vary in large amounts of cells
Research suggests that large animals should have more cases of cancer due to more cells and more cell divisions throughout their lives.
However, in decades, this was believed that this was not happened, as elephants often emphasized that as an example of Peto’s paradox, the theory claimed that large animals would be less cancer.
A new idea, a new study aimed at Chris Venditti, such as large animals, elephants, have more than more taller cancer, as they can be carcinogenous for mutations.
Research examined 263 species, confirming that large animals such as elephants and giraffes confirm that they have a higher risk of cancer. Was published in the study magazine National Academy of Sciences Procedures.

Study findings
- Although elephants have a higher cancer rate than small animals, such biological defenses, such as the presence of multiple copies of the TP53 gene (responsible for removing tumors), help control the disease.
- These results indicate that elephants have more appropriate cells to mutations, their defenses have evolved to improve cancer.
- The study also found exceptions, such as Australian paraches, a much larger cancer rate than expected to size.
Understanding how many species can do better against cancer can open new avenues for innovative research and treatments.
Researchers emphasize how to study these species, we can learn how to develop cancer and how we can improve human treatments.
