Cancer is a creepy and mysterious thing. While we tried to understand it, to get better at killing it, we discovered a biological paradox that remains unsolved to this day: large animals seem to be immune to cancer. Which doesn’t make any sense – the bigger a being, the more cancer it should have. To understand why, we first need to take a look at the nature of cancer itself.

**i used the cancer to destroy the cancer**
Where is our blood supply!?
**Gone, reduced to atoms.**
@jason127x99 HIV melt our body defenses. I dont know if that was a good idea.
The reason why you donate blood:
*So you can use it when you get cancer*
@InfiniteLoop Gene therapy, stem cells also

Jake Brown severely underated comment
Ur saying corona is gone save us? 😆
But they both kill you
That reminds me of Garou.
Cancer cures should only be applied to people below 75. No one should be alive beyond 75 years old. Save the cancer cures for the young.
Everyone out here making memes about the hypertumors when I’m just thinking about all of the cells that commit suicide for me.
You will be remembered little guys🙏🏻
rip ❤️
Kaden Vasquez you touched my heart 💔
They make up you they don’t have emotions or contiounes they are apart of your emotions and thoughts
The cells that are committing suicide were you in the past.
@Afonso Araujo Carvalho allahu akbar BOOM. Thanks little cell, your jihad will serve my greater health.
Cancer: exists
Hypertumors: I’m about to end this cancer’s whole career
damn, this comment section was cancer free until i saw this comment 😐
I love how the comments section is filled with thanos quotes
They are all men of culture
Athena this… does put a smile on my face
no, they are not men of culture, they are children of jumping on the band wagon
Tumors: exist.
Animals: “we don’t care.”
Tumors: *surprised*
Doctor: We cured you of cancer!
Patient: Good. How?
Doctor: Well, you are now 50% elephant.
*Patient will remember this.
The plot for a remake of “Elephant Man”
Patient: I was wondering why my nose felt so heavy.
Scientists: “We have good news and bad news.”
“Good news first.”
Scientists: “We have discovered a foolproof cure for cancer!”
“H E L L Y E A H”
Scientists: “The cure is more cancer.”
Kool Aid Man: “OH NO.”
the cure is HYPER cancer
@MrCreepMcPasta hello fellow wobba
OH YEEAAAAHHH
But it comes with a free frogurt!
Me: is there anything you can do about my cancer?
Doctor: yes, we have learned from the elephants and blue whales and are adding cancer into your body.
Me:
Doctor:
Tumour suppressor: “Kill yourself”
Mutated cell: “No I don’t think I will”
Immune cell: “dew it”
Normal cell: “Guess I’ll die”
I imagine every time a cancer cell survives and starts wrecking shit up a small akira movie plays out in our bodies.
end it. do it
“The bigger the animal is, the more immune it is to cancer,” Fat people: H E L L Y E A H
@ZSI Raptor There’s the trade off to that adaption
ElectricGaming8 unfortunately, fatter people don’t have more cells than thinner people. Their fat cells just contain more fat.
@Nathaniel Little frick
@Nathaniel Little but fat has cells too, no?
@Cirno Tan No. Fats are lipids which are not cells. They just make the cell bigger
Person: Why are you fat?
Me: “The bigger the animal is, the more immune it is to cancer”
Umm…diabetes.
Lucas no.
Diabetes: I’m going to end this man’s whole career.
@Really don’t Know *”So are you scared of Cancer so much you’ll become unhealthy another way on purpose”*
@Andromalius ii
actually if you test the few really huge people they don’t have diabetes, presumably because they’re big enough where fat doesn’t have to clog up their pancreas.

Kurzgesagt: “Cancer is just selfish”
That’s quite an understatement
Kurzgesagt : “cancer killing cancer”
People with cancer zodiac : Tom confused face*
Cancer: kills cancer
Zangeif: You are bad guy, but that does not mean you’re bad *guy*
wreck it ralph?
Thanks Satan.
I seriously wish almost every complex topic in life would be explained in such fun and exciting ways as Kurzgesagt and their videos do. Seriously!! so enjoyable
It would be a nice precursor but sadly these videos are often so simplified that they have no actual scientific education value beyond the layman level.
@Aggressively Amicable uhm what? Just from this video I learned how cancer worked and I learned about why big animal don’t get cancer. Just because it doesn’t show extremly complicated facts doesn’t mean it’s no longer good
@Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart I’m glad you liked the video, I also enjoy them. However, my comment was a response to the initial post mentioning the use of these videos for “explaining complex subjects”. These videos are a nice layman description of complex concepts but they generally come very short on the actual science; which is understandable given the framework. For example, you mentioned having learned how cancer works but in reality you only learned about cell mutation and a theoretical explanation to large mammal cancer suppression. In reality, cancer formation is much more complex than just cell mutation and the theory is one of many that are still being studied and debated.
In short:
*”I used the cancer to destroy the cancer.”*
