Cancer is somewhat confusing to the immune system since it is an aberrant form of the body's own cells which the immune system is not supposed to attack. Sometimes the immune system can detect that the cancer cell is not a normal part of the body, and therefore it will destroy the cancer, but quite often the immune system cannot detect the abnormality of the cancer cell and will ignore it. That is precisely why cancer is so dangerous.

Yes, and it often does in the early stages. Evidence shows that many small tumours are stopped by the immune system before they are big enough to see. Once a tumour is large enough to see, it usually means that the immune system has failed to stop it, and in most cases other methods must be tried.
