We knew that cancer is created from within us and that our immune system considers it a part of us and does not attack us.
But it turns out that as soon as cancer develops, the immune system attacks it.
Our immune system has a mechanism to stop an attack after it has attacked enough.
The cancer took advantage of this to stop the immune system from attacking.
But researchers have now figured out how to disable the cancer that causes the immune system to shut down.
