Clonally transmissible cancer

A transmissible cancer is a cancer cell or cluster of cancer cells that can be transferred between individuals without the involvement of an infectious agent, such as an oncovirus.^[1]^[2] The evolution of transmissible cancer has occurred naturally in other animal species, but human cancer transmission is rare.^[2] This transfer is typically between members of the same species or closely related species.^[3]
