The majority of the time, it seems that the immune system does it's job. 'The majority of the time _that it has already become a macroscopic problem_ the immune system didn't do it's job' is sort of a tautology.
- jacquesm 5y agoThat's a fair criticism, but those are the cases that people are worried about, not the ones where the immune system generates the appropriate response. Just like we don't really care about regular moderate rain but we do care about rain that overwhelms our ability to deal with it. I'm not even sure what the stats are on the cases where a cancer got nipped in the bud at the single or just a few cells stage, but now I'm interested and I'm going to try to find out if this has been researched or not, that has to be a tricky problem to determine the answer to.
