From Book News, Inc. , April 1, 1993

Synopsis
It has not changed in over 400 million years. It never sleeps or rests. It is said to be "the perfect living machine." And, within the last decade, it has been found to hold the key to reversing cancer as well as numerous other major diseases. Sharks Don't Ger Cancer is the story of this amazing breakthrough. (Avery Publishing Group)
In 1992, the bestselling Sharks Don't Get Cancer--which explored whether shark cartilage could slow or even stop the growth of human tumors--became the basis for a report on CBS-TV's 60 Minutes.

Sharks do get Cancer. The use of Shark Cartilage as a cure for cancer is unfounded and the collection of Shark Cartilage is jeopardizing the ecosystem and hopes and finances of cancer patients. Please read the research about Shark Cartilage from George Washington University and John Hopkins University, both universities are very well know for their contributions to medical health. http://www.jhu.edu/~gazette/2000/apr1000/10sharks.html

If you had bothered to read the book, you would have undoubtedly noticed that it is stated very clearly that sharks in fact DO get cancer, but in such low numbers as compared to other animals that it is mysterious and thought provoking, hence the book.

Sharks don't get Cancer
Then don't call the book 'sharks DONT get cancer.' Ridiculous.
