Well cancer isn’t really a disease in the sense that other illnesses are so it might be worth figuring out incase there’s a chance you could end up as a giant suffering blob of immortal tumour.
Because an immortal is likely to have formed connections with mortals that died of cancer. Als, if their friends live longer, they need to start from scratch less often. Another way to archive that is to befriend a family for generations.
To an immortal, it probably wouldn’t make much of a difference. Either they die from cancer or they survive but then die anyways a few decades later. Plus, vampires have ways of extending someone’s life without any medical science anyways.
Though some lores for Dracula had him very deep and advanced in science as well as magic, so it’s possible he did have a cure for cancer but just didn’t care to share it because humans are just livestock to him.
Be a good way to secure enough money to never have people questioning why you’re never seen in daylight and have been around for so long without looking like you’ve aged.
Except… Aren’t the vampires in those books/movies able to be in the sun? That’s when you see them sparkle, isn’t it?
biologically speaking cancer itself is immortal. I suppose that would mean if an immortal person had cancer, their tumors would be numerous and grotesque.
Why would an immortal care about curing cancer?
Because being immortal doesn’t need to equate to being a narcissistic asshole?
If we think about it, I’d bet there would be a correlation though… Being immortal has to disconnect you from the rest of society.
Dark triad traits have got to be off the charts on Immortal beings.
Could work the opposite way where an immortal would be extremely motivated not to keep having their loved ones die on them.
Or alternatively you get a World of Darkness situation with the mummys wherein they basically go mildly batshit due to being high on life itself.
Well, but they are not actually immortal, so, the link remains with us.

would an immortal be exempt from having cancer?

But treating cancer might be more straightforward, taking out more than you need to and just let the healing take care of putting correct tissue back.
but maybe the trauma of removing it causes more cancer to manifest? it’s not unusual for traumatic injuries to cause cancer to start.
I mean immortal and immoral are close but not exactly identical
Shit and giggles. Id ssy itd make more sense to invest your infinate time on something more interesting than teenagers.
