Isn't this the mechanism with which extremely large animals like whales use to kill cancers? They essentially allow cancer to develop cancer and self metabolize?
whales and sharks get cancer, they do not kill cancer cells. I have no idea where this story started. Mosquitos don't get cancer, because they only live 10 days.
Notice I never mentioned that they don't get cancer. But also there's more than a few reputable sources that explain Peto's Paradox. These 2 are what I learned from.
