Is chimerism associated with cancer across the tree of life?
PLOS ONE, 18(6).
TL;DR:
It is found that taxa with higher levels of chimerism have higher tumour invasiveness, though there was no association between malignancy or neoplasia and chimerist among mammals, suggesting that there may be an important biological relationship between chimerisms and susceptibility to tissue invasion by cancerous cells.
