Human medical specialists are treading new ground in applying a standard chemotherapy regimen to treat cancer in an orangutan. Orangutans share about 96 percent of a humans genetic makeup, and Peanuts treatment plan is closer to that of what a human would receive for the same type of cancer, making this the first documented case of an orangutan being treated with this type of therapy (AP Photo/J Pat Carter)

Ženki Peanut je dijagnosticiran rak prilikom veterinarskog pregleda kojem je podvrgnuta zbog blokade crijeva. Pošto njezin zoološki vrt nema veterinara stručnjaka za onkologiju, pomoć su zatražili u Centru za tretman raka "Sylvester" pri Medicinskom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Miamiju.

Tamošnji tim stručnjaka, predvođen odjelom za komparativnu patologiju, koje je stručno i za divlje životinje, potvrdio je dijagnozu i sad je pr...
