摘要
DEAR EDITOR,Despite the generally increased cancer risk in large,long-lived organisms,cetaceans,among the largest and longest-living mammals,appear to possess a counteracting mechanism.Nevertheless,the genetic basis underlying this mechanism remains poorly understood.The p53 pathway serves as an ideal target for studying the mechanisms behind cancer resistance,as most cancer types have evolved strategies to circumvent its suppressive functions.
