First sentence shows something is wrong: >"It has recently become apparent that the immune system can cure cancer." https://doi.org/10.1126/scitranslmed.aan4488 https://doi.org/10.1126/scitranslmed.aan4488 Recently? This has been thought for quite awhile... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=immune+surveillance+cancer https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=immune+surveillanc... And really it is obvious that there are trade offs between immune surveillance of cancer and auto-immune disease. Next they will be surprised at the tradeoff between aging/organ failure and cancer.
