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.
