Was the BBC wrong? Well, it seems it is the case. It has been a long-held myth that sharks don't get illnesses like cancer or tumors. But, this is just plain weird. The fact that sharks aren't "immune," at least to cancer, has been known, for over 150 years (according to the Discovery Channel). So, where did people get this misconception from? It looks like it was just another lie scammers told to promote their 'miraculous' shark cartilage treatments. Still don't believe it?
Ta-da!
Obviously, sharks aren't immune to tumors. They get cancer too. David Shiffman, a shark researcher and doctoral student at the University of Miami, flat-out said, "Sharks don't get cancer". There you have it, a professional sir has confirmed it! So, there. Sharks do get tumors and cancer.
Verdict: FALSE
