Why Blue Whales Don't Get Cancer - Peto's Paradox 🐋🔬

Why Blue Whales Don't Get Cancer - Peto's Paradox 🐋🔬

Discover why blue whales, the largest animals on Earth, are less likely to develop cancer than humans, a phenomenon known as Peto's Paradox. This video explores the fascinating biological mechanisms that protect these giants from cancer despite their massive size and long lifespans.

Key Points Covered:

🐋 Size vs. Cancer Risk: Explore why larger animals like blue whales have lower cancer rates, contradicting the expectation that more cells should lead to higher cancer risk.

🧬 Genetic Mechanisms: Dive into the genetic adaptations that may help reduce cancer risk in blue whales and other large mammals.

🔍 Research Implications: Discuss how understanding Peto’s Paradox could lead to breakthroughs in human cancer prevention and treatment.
