Somewhere in your body, your immune system just quietly killed one of your own cells, stopping it from becoming cancer, and saving your life. It does that all the time. The vast majority of cancer cells you develop will be killed without you ever noticing. Which is an incredibly hard job because of what cancer cells are: parts of yourself that start to behave as individuals even if it hurts you.
What is cancer and how does your body kill it all the time?

the animation team really needs an applause
-
I have a PhD in cancer research and this is the best ‘nut shell’ explanation and visualisation I have ever come across. Well done team!
-
Idk why but it really makes you appreciate your body even more. It's almost like your body is like your best friend or a wingman always got your back until it's overwhelmed
-
I'm an immunologist and I've worked on immunotherapy research to fight cancer, I know all of this and yet I would've never presented it as well as you did, thank you for making knowledge accessible and fun whilst still being accurate enough! Love your channel.
-
As a PhD student in Genetics, I knew most of the information in this video, but the way it is presented it is exceptionally good. First year undergrad students would understand more from this video than from a 2-hour lecture.
-
I've been fighting cancer for almost 5 years its been a struggle. I've done so much chemotherapy and it wasn't able to kill the cancer off. It came back after a year later, i fought it off 3 times. i recently went through surgery and with that its going away so i can finally say im done with cancer.😊
-
The fact that in school I was almost falling asleep listening to the slides the teachers made about this, but when I watch this video I never even thought of clicking off and was interested the whole time. Massive round of applause to the animation team and the person who’s speaking.
-
Words cant express my gratitude for igrotum. Its providing relief and healing during a challenging time.
-
As a cancer cell, thank you for explaining it much better than we can ever do!
-
As a natural killer cell, thank you so much for the positive representation in this video!
-
If you think you are alone, remember there is always someone who fights for you
-
I really appreciate how you've taken constructive criticism to heart. Instead of being really defensive you guys have taken the people calling you "propaganda" and used their feedback to grow.
-
It’s so tragic that just one failure to destroy a cancerous cell can lead to someone’s death.
-
As a T-cell, thanks a bunch for bringing such recognition to my colleague. It was well deserved. We work hard everyday killing to stay alive.
-
I can’t express how amazing this channel is. It deserves its own TV show on streaming services
-
I have always been really scared of getting cancer ever since I first learned it was a thing as very young child. This video was very interesting and educational, and now I’m not as scared anymore. Thank you :)
-
As a forklift operator and warehouse associate i couldn’t have presented the topic on immunology this well! Great job team!
-
The level of mind numbingly complex processes our bodies do to keep us alive at any given moment is just legendary
-
I don't know why I just discovered your channel today. I love knowledge and I am always searching it out. Anyway, you guys rock and I am so excited to binge your channel today!! Thank you
