I think you should reformulate your question in a different way so as not to reflect any kind of anthropomorphism which is incompatible with any scientific approach. I can understand from your question that cancer is a decision taken by a conscientious cell to protest against the adversity of its life conditions.

I see cancer as an evolutionary process.

The continuous irritation leads to continuous inflammation. The tissue regeneration after the injury could escape from control and it leads to cancer. This inflammatory environment can facilitate cancer progression through citokins etc.. In such a niche the normal cells multiply but just one little mutation and cancer can overgrow the normal tissue.

An example is gastroesophageal reflux disease, where the continuous irritation of HCl could lead through metaplasia to esophageal carcinoma.

In conclusion I think cancer is not the final escape. It is just a possibility which can emerge from the continuously multiplying cells.

Let see what other colleagues think :)

There is no need to chronic irritation leads convert in to cancerous cells only but max. chances are there to form cancer cell. During cell division some of cells get mutated cheange their expression due to change in secretion and nucleotide base pairs, cyokine expression. mutated gene loose their control over replication by adding the telomerase over the chromosome....... ( if no no gene mutated some cells also concerted in to granulomatous inflammation)

Thanks Ahed, Dezso, Abdelhalim and Mugale for illuminating replies; cancer could be a last reaction to an identity crisis inflicted on a particular group of cells from an 'adamant and obstinate challenge'!?

Hi Rakesh,

Is it a joke? Synchronizing with your thinking, maybe it is a conspiracy to find immortality in a culture dish!.
