Description	Recent advances in immunotherapy have brought to the fore questions regarding the conditions under which the adaptive immune system can recognize and eliminate cancer cells. Here we introduce a simple model of at the competition between detection and invasion and apply it to recent data from the TRACERX experiments. Our model produces interesting hypotheses regarding the age=dependence of cancer incidence and the ratio of cancer incidence "attempts" versus actual progression to detectable tumors.
