Can white blood cells kill cancer?
There isn't a visible imune response to cancer, so it might not even attack them. I'm not sure, but if I had to take a guess I'd say it was because cancer cells are taken as normal cells, according to the imune system. Anyway, I remind you, this isn't based on anything, just my general knowledge. Edit: Besides this, there might be also more possible explanations: The imune response is centered at lymph vessels and normally, to kill a virus, leukocytes take the virus to the vessels. Since cancer cells can't change place, they can't be taken there. More, according to my father, they are too many to be killed easily.
