Episode notes
The body has other mechanisms that it can kind of tap into to limit the negative effect of that cell and stop replication and invasion. I think that's where again the immune system comes in and many people have like breast cancer or colon cancer, myeloma but everybody's disease is very different from one another. Some of it could do with the inherent properties of the tumor or different mutations within them. But some of it is also to do with the balance like there are checkpoints in the immune system which kind of keep the cancer at bay or doesn't allow it to spread. Once that barrier is broken you know you see more of the metastatic tumors or more aggressive tumors that grow quickly.
