Additionally, elephants have a “zombie gene” called LIF6, a dormant gene reactivated by p53 that helps destroy damaged cells, adding another layer of cancer defense.

elephants do get cancer but it's rare. they have 20 copies of the TP53 gene (compared to humans’ two), which encodes the p53 protein, known as the “guardian of the genome.” This protein detects DNA damage and triggers cell death (apoptosis) in damaged cells before they become cancerous.
