My father seemed to have an immunity to cancer. He was a two/three pack a day smoker until he was about 55 years old. He then had a huge mass of tumors removed from his throat. The doctors were amazed that they were not cancerous. That was 1980 Some of the doctors attributed his “luck” to the fact that he was ill with malaria he got in the Pacific during WW2 for many years. They are now researching many viruses to fight cancer cells. It seems polio viruses, West Nile virus as well as malaria viruses may hold hope. Here is one article. www.pfizer.com/news/articles/meet_the_common_viruses_now_used_to_help_combat_cancer

I wouldn’t be surprised.
Makes you wonder though is it nature (our genetics) or nurture (environment) or a combo of both. <—my vote
My mom and my aunt (not blood related aunt) smoked like chimneys 50 years) 89 and 91 respectively. No COPD, no lung or throat cancer nada.
Take for example sickle cell. Carriers are largely protected from extreme form of malaria. A mutation that most likely happened over thousands of years to protect the species ( I should say the peoples) in those regions
