Infectious tumour cells

Article Abstract:

Few studies are suggesting that some tumour cells could evolve to become infectious agents and be transmitted between individuals. It is suspected that the canine transmissible venereal tumour (CTVT) could be transferred between dogs by implantation of tumour cells from the donor to the recipient, where the tumour grows as a graft.
