Apoptosis might be seen as part of the body's overseeing/managing/protecting mechanism.
Apoptosis is associated with cell death; a programmed cell death, where "abnormal" cells, which either cannot function properly (aged, injured, etc), or are potential threat to the organism (infected, mutated), have to die.
By activating apoptosis of those cells, the body stops their proliferation. If this mechanism gets impaired (for example tumour suppressor genes, like p53, cannot promote apoptosis), the uncontrolled proliferation of the abnormal cells could lead to malignancy.
