I've read quite a bit about Deadpool, up to the point I know he has cancer, and that he has a healing factor. I don't quite get why one doesn't cancel the other out. I know that in Deadpool's case he had the cancer first, but is that the important part?
Likewise, I assume Wolverine has never and could never contact cancer, due to his healing factor which is much stronger than Deadpools.
Is there a discrepancy here? Should a healing factor cure Wade's cancer? Or is he a special case for some reason? For some reason I can't seem to get my brain round this.
Answer
Cancer isn't a disease or externally-caused problem like a broken bone: It's unregulated growth of the body's own cells. No matter how good you are at healing yourself, you'd be attacking your own body to kill off the cancer cells.
If anything, I'd expect a healing factor to cause more cancer.
