Cancer is now known to at least in part be a result of a compromised immune system. Cancer cells arise all the time in healthy bodies, and are beaten down and destroyed by the white blood cells. In a compromised immune system, when cancer cells arise, they form a tumor.

@CorvusBlackthorne true, does that mean ppl w autoimmunity don't get it?

@Wiseacre It is less likely to manifest in people with strong immune systems. That is another good reason to do everything one can to strengthen one's immune system.
