Peto's paradox's relevance is off the scale
1School of Biosciences, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, South-Yorkshire S10 2TN, UK.
Abstract:
Peto's paradox is the disconnect between individual risk of cells to develop malignancy and the absence of a strong increase in cancer incidence with body mass across species. Recently small increases of cancer incidence with body mass across species have been interpreted as a falsification of Peto's paradox. I argue this is a misinterpretation as it is the predicted incredible scale of the increase in cancer incidence with body mass that led to Peto's paradox. The relevance for the biology of cancer and ageing of Peto's paradox is off the scale and remains a highly valid paradigm of study.

P-value
P-value stands for the probability value. P-value is the probability that, if the null hypothesis is true, the results from another randomly selected sample will be as extreme or more extreme as the results obtained from the given sample.
A large P-value calculated from the data indicates to not reject the null hypothesis. But a higher P-value does not mean that the null hypothesis is true. The smaller the P-value, the more...
