  • Scientists in the UK are attempting to answer 1 of the biggest medical mysteries:  Why don't whales & other large creatures like elephants get cancer like humans do?
  • In whales, elephants & other species cancer is extremely rare, while in humans, dogs & cats it is 1 of the biggest killers; in fact, 10 million humans die from it every year
  • Researchers from the Sanger Institute in Cambridge & the Zoological Society of London are focusing on the link between cell mutation rates, tumors & aging
  • Example of their findings:  Bowhead whales live up to 200 years, have extremely low cell mutation rates & nearly no cases of cancer
  • Findings indicate that whales, along with elephants, have very low rates of cell mutations & cancer, which is a staggering finding, given the huge numbers of cells they have when compared to humans
  • Cancer is known to be caused by DNA in a cell mutating & then dividing uncontrollably triggering a cancerous tumor
  • The scientists are expanding their findings to include many species to learn why some species are seemingly immune to cancer 
  • This is very important cancer research because learning why certain animals like whales are far less susceptible to cancer will provide new knowledge to develop new preventative cancer approaches & therapies for humans.
