"The story of CTVT—a contagious cancer that spreads from dog to dog—gets
weirder all the time."

Via Kam-Yung Soh, who wrote: "Fascinating article on the oldest
transmissible cancer known. What’s interesting is that the cancer itself
has turned into a more benign form and points to a form of cancer
therapy where we don’t try to eliminate the cancer (and possibly make it
more aggressive), but rather to ‘tame and control’ it so that it becomes
a manageable health problem."
