Except for the fact thats not how cells work or even behave.

Even if it mutated it would still be targeted by the bodies immune system (the bodies immune system is capable of targeting and ridding the body of pre-cancerous cells, and even some cancer lines unless things go to far in favor of the progression of the disease)

The way that cancer cells hide has nothing to do with mutating, rather it mimics the traits of Bacteria.

But a cell is not a bacteria, so common sense dictates that it shouldn't be able to do what it does.

In fact if you research how cancer behaves and functions, you will see that its granted advantages that cells simply do not have (nor could they) without it belonging to an entirely different organism altogether.

Cancer is nothing more than groups of cells with overexpressed telomerase and a less healthy environment then the rest of the body (ie cancer has a more acidic internal environment compared to the natural healthy cells in a person)

The way that cancer works is more in line without how bacteria functions, rather than merely mutated cell clusters.

Which is why the disease doesn't make sense from a logical standpoint. Because thats not how cells are capable of functioning mutated or not. The only way it could honestly work is if the cells gained a live and role of their own, but the only way that would work is by a transplant.

Even if the process of evolution allowed for such a thing to happen, it doesn't make any sense without all of the bodies functions being hijacked to allow for it.
