its not a big deal, your just caught up in language. in a sense learning is just adapting, 'successful' neurons propagate, less successful ones wither. also its helpful when thinking about these things to not fall for the fallacy that cancer and the immune system is simply cells - they are complex systems. For instance, the immune system does learn and adapt.
