This retrospective study appears to be the largest publication to date regarding the prevalence of neoplasia in reptiles. As in previous publications, neoplasia is most common in snakes, followed by lizards, chelonians, and crocodilians. Several interesting trends were documented in this study, some of which appear to be previously unidentified, and some that support the findings of previous publications.
这项回顾性研究似乎是迄今为止关于爬行动物肿瘤患病率的最大规模的出版物。与之前的出版物一样,肿瘤在蛇类中最为常见,其次是蜥蜴、龟鳖类和鳄类。本研究记录了几个有趣的趋势,其中一些似乎是以前未被发现的,还有一些支持了以前出版物的研究结果。
