How does the immune system respond to the throat cancer?
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.

Is aids a kind of cancer?
No, AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, and is a disease of the immune system caused by a virus, not a cancer. It does progressively reduce the effectiveness of the immune system and leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors.
Does the immune system often kills cancerous cells?
Yes, most of the time the immune system weeds out cells that are abnormal.
Does cancer weaken the immune system?
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.
How does cervical cancer affect the immune system?
Cervical cancer can compromise the immune system in several ways. The human papillomavirus (HPV), which often causes cervical cancer, can evade immune detection and hinder the body's ability to mount an effective immune response. Additionally, the presence of tumor cells can lead to immune system dysfunction, where immune cells may become suppressed or exhausted, further impairing the body's ability to fight not only the cancer but also other infections. This weakened immune response makes patients more susceptible to opportunistic infections and other malignancies.

Do people who have allergies have lower risk of cancer because of stronger immune system?
No, allergies do not strengthen your immune system. An allergic reaction occurs more or less because your immune system confuses a non-harmful, foreign substance that has entered your body system with something that is harmful. There are signs that strong immune systems can help aid in fighting back against and possibly preventing cancer, but in this case, simply having allergies isn't going to make a difference in your immune response. Additionally, your likelihood of getting cancer is not as much based off the strength of your immune system than it is on other factors, such as lifestyle choices and genetics.
