In their recent paper entitled ‘Lifetime cancer prevalence and life history traits in mammals’ Dr. A. M. Boddy et al. have presented a comparative analysis of 42 years of necropsy data from the San Diego Zoo covering 37 species of mammals [1]. With this study, the authors have enriched the evidence base for the nascent field of comparative oncology, the study of the evolutionary changes in cancer biology in animals, mostly in mammals, and we want to express our appreciation for their work before we discuss some of the details of this study. This article provides valuable comparative data related to neoplasia and malignancy that were previously not available.

对Boddy等的评论。2020年：现有数据表明胎盘浸润与恶性肿瘤之间呈正相关

AM Boddy博士等人在他们最近的论文《哺乳动物的终生癌症流行率和生活史特征》中发表了论文。已经对圣地亚哥动物园42种尸检数据进行了比较分析，这些数据涵盖了37种哺乳动物[1]。通过这项研究，作者丰富了比较肿瘤学新兴领域的证据基础，研究了动物（主要是哺乳动物）中癌症生物学的进化变化，我们在讨论一些相关知识之前，要对他们的工作表示赞赏。这项研究的细节。本文提供了与肿瘤和恶性肿瘤有关的有价值的比较数据，这些数据以前没有。
