Although reports of malignant tumours in sharks are rare, a variety of cancers have been detected in these animals. Nonetheless, several substances that have anti-tumour activity have been identified in cartilage. The major structural components of cartilage include several types of the protein collagen and several types of glycosaminoglycans, which are polysaccharides. Chondroitin sulphate is the major glycosaminoglycan in cartilage. Although there is no evidence that the collagens in cartilage, or their breakdown products, can inhibit angiogenesis, there is evidence that shark cartilage contains at least one angiogenesis inhibi...
