An interesting article in the New Scientist has noted that there are some recent studies that would suggest that both chimps and human beings are rapidly changing their genes so that their bodies are better able to fight current epidemics, possibly including cancer.
Worth a read.
If you already HAVE cancer, of course, then there is not much this information does for you - but at least you have some hope that human beings are evolving to fight the threat. The pity is that you can be reassured that you are a casualty of Darwininan evolution.
