The immune system is a common denominator in both cancer and autoimmune diseases. 1 - It constantly surveils, to promptly eliminate cells that deviate from their intended programs (cancer). 2 - Ensures that said surveillance and elimination events do not blow-out of proportions (autoimmunity).

The immune system plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance between fighting cancer cells and preventing autoimmune reactions. It's a fine-tuned surveillance system that eliminates abnormal cells while avoiding excessive immune responses.
