There are a few interesting aspects to cancer that you might find enlightening. First is "p53, the guardian of the genome." It has the ability to trigger apoptosis in a cancer cell, when stimulated correctly. It is usually active, and (likely) terminates most of your precancerous cells via apoptosis, the controlled cell suicide pathway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P53 The second thing that cancer must do is shut down the mitochondria, because they are involved in apoptosis. An interesting thing about cancer is that it needs glucose, and lots of it because it cannot use efficient mitochondria, and instead relies on anaerobic respiration. The last interesting thing is autophagy, starvation (of sugar) which will slow down any cancer and potentially reactivate p53, depending upon your willingness to avoid prolific glucose sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autophagy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autophagy
