- fuzzyllama, on 07/01/2009, -1/+9I think Discovery did a show a few years back talking about researching sharks for cancer healing properties because they hadn't seen a case where a shark ever had cancer. Anyone have a link? I was surprised that wasn't mentioned in this article.

- idoj, on 07/01/2009, -0/+6I remember that show. I don't have a link to that, but the ACS came out several years ago with studies that proved that sharks can and do get cancer. http://www.cancer.org/docroot/NWS/content/NWS_1_1x ...

It is truly evil incarnate. - EQGelu, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3I wish I could speak whale!
- nathanbutnet, on 07/01/2009, -0/+3As I have nightmares about cancer and have all ready had to deal with skin cancer at a relatively young age I do hope that we as a species wakes up to this incredible danger and makes the changes necessary which, to me, involve a diet change and wildly scaling back pollutants in our environment. I am especially worried about this threat given the fact it seems younger and younger people (including a good friend who is only 30) are having to deal with all types of cancer including breast cancer and skin cancers.
- duncan202, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2I would guess forms of cancer have been around since there have been organized globs of cells. Human beings did not invent cancer. Certainly toxic environments have been tied to various forms but the causes are wide and varied, as are the types of cancer.
Personally I think the fact we avoid direct sunlight is responsible for the rise of many types over the last few decades. - randypanda, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2Seeing as cancer is just a mutation has it existed since the dinosaurs?
To be honest I haven't read the article or anything but curiosity and laziness got the best of me and I wanted to get a comprehensible answer from the oh so loving digg community. - damnshoes, on 07/01/2009, -0/+2reminds me of this guy.

- JinxCrow, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1Considering how (historically speaking) more and more cultures are opting for enclosed living conditions, perhaps there's a clue in that.
- randypanda, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1interesting never heard of that "direct sunlight" theory.
- fuzzyllama, on 07/01/2009, -0/+1That would explain why they didn't bring that up. Knew it was too good to be true.
- aadautech, on 11/03/2009, -0/+0For the last 30 years, the International Agency for Research on Cancer has prepared estimates of the global cancer burden. Beginning in 1975 with broad estimates of numbers of new cases for 12 common types of cancer in different areas of the world. Overall, there were 10.9 million new cases, 6.7 million deaths, and 24.6 million persons alive with cancer (within three years of diagnosis). The most commonly diagnosed cancers are lung (1.35 million), breast (1.15 million), and colorectal (1 million); the most common causes of cancer death are lung cancer (1.18 million deaths), stomach cancer (700,000 deaths), and liver cancer (598,000 deaths). The most prevalent cancer in the world is breast cancer (4.4 million survivors up to 5 years following diagnosis).
