Parasitic cancerA parasitic cancer or transmittable cancer is a cancer cell or cluster of cancer cells that can be transmitted from animal to animal. Cancer is not normally a contagious disease, but there are two known exceptions. One is in dogs, and the other is in the Tasmanian Devil. These cancers have a relatively stable genome as they are transmitted. [1]. Because of their transmission, it was initially thought that both diseases were caused by the transfer of viruses, in the manner of cervical cancer caused by HPV.
