Most are nipped in the bud by the immune response, not least by its T cells, which detect telltale molecular markers - or antigens - on cancer cells and destroy them before they grow into tumors. Cancer cells, for their part, evolve constantly to evade such assassination. Those that succeed become full-blown malignancies.
