Is the cure for cancer in the immune system?Cancer has robbed me and so many others of people we love. It is the one disease I fear. Is the key to curing cancer alerting the immune system to these abnormal cells? I know that cancer is apart of the body; not perceived as foreign and that's why they can co-exist with normal cells. Could we specifically target them so that they are recognized as foreign? Is there a property of these cells that only they contain that could be exploited?

There are many cancer researchers working on exactly this approach. At this point, their studies are targeted at specific cancer subtypes.

They are still working on immunology. I took immunology therapy and it worked as advertised, postponed recurrence by 13 months. Hopefully, they will find something, but no big breakthroughs in the near future.

Well it definitely has something to do with sugar.
So that kinda rules out the lymphatic system as a creator.
The thing is the body is so complex that what they find in rats and stats leads them to many targets. It would be great to eat up the bad cells but this doesn't stop them being made.
The main thing is we keep letting everyone know what's happening.
