>>13489508Yeah, in fact the vast majority of cells that accumulate mutations that drives them into cancer-cells will either undergo apoptosis or be recognized by the immune system long before they have any chance to expand and turn into tumors. Many of your cells will.acquire problematic mutations each day, but will simply die. As we get older, mutations may accumulate in the cells, and your protective systems may fail, rendering you more susceptible to cancer. Some people are more likely to develop cancer, because they exist in environments that cause more mutation (smoking, asbesthos, eating grilled meat); or, they may have inherited certain mutations that make them prone to develop cancer
