This isn't terribly surprising since one of the first things a cancerous tumor does (often) is create an "cold" immune environment to evade detection by the hosts immune system. This is why certain infections can actually kill a tumor: no immune system to kill the new pathogen and it ends up destroying the cancerous cells.
