Weird takes aside, I do wonder why only some big species like elephants developed a strong resistance to cancer, and not smaller species

About blue whales I watched an educational video where it's said that they indeed do have cancer, but that it barely matters to them due to their enourmous size. I wonder whether it's something similar with elephants.

It's not about size. The little naked mole rat also doesn't get cancer. I don't think we know why yet.
