> Large and tall people have more cells, and higher chance of cancer.

I've never looked at it like that. Is it true?

It does appear to be true for humans. Though interestingly there isn't a correlation between species size and cancer risk [1].

Just to clarify:

Across different species, there's no correlation.

Within the same species though, there is correlation.

sadly data seems to indicate so. :-/
