Karmonos Cancer Institute. Did you know you could get cancer three, four or five times easily in your life and not even know it. Cancer cells are mutations of healthy cells. If they mutate in a "large" manner, where the body can detect them, T-cells will recognize the mutation and destroy them. However it's the minor mutations that the bodies defenses don't recognize that can kill you. My old doctor used to say, if you live long enough, eventually cancer will kill you. He said, it's an old persons disease. Meaning simply as radiation and other things cause mutations, eventually some of them become dangerous enough in your body to cause cancer and kill you. For this reason, there may never be a cure found for cancer as it's like saying we're going to find a cure for random chance. Or lottery bad luck. The longer you live, the longer genetic dice are rolled.
