>1) Lots of tiny benign tumours appear throughout life that escape
immune monitoring but hit the hayflick limit and do not become malignant
2) Some of these gradually mutate further and may become immortal
3) Of these, some will continue to escape immune system and become
larger benign tumours, or become malignant and become "cancer".
Sounds like natural selection.
Of course you could make the immune system more aggressive, but then it attacks your body parts (e.g. as in diabetics)
Do diabetics have less cancer btw?
