89% Informative
An international team of scientists analyzed data from more than 5,700 bird necropsies across 108 species.
Birds with larger clutch sizes (more eggs per brood) had significantly higher rates of malignant cancers.
Study found no significant correlation between body size or lifespan and cancer risk in birds, contrary to what might be expected.
Zoos and wildlife centers may need to consider cancer screening more carefully for species with larger clutch sizes.
Conservation efforts for endangered bird species may benefit from considering cancer risk as part of overall population health management.
Researchers may uncover new strategies for prevention and treatment that could benefit both human and veterinary medicine.
