Not to go too far off topic here, but Cancer is a mutation, an invasion of the body by malignant cells from within.
It is only natural in the same way every disease is natural.
From my perspective (and I am not trying to force it on others, it is just my view) depression is more like going into shock, which can be fatal, and can be treated, but is often a natural and normal reaction to circumstances, and not always a sign that something is wrong with the body/mind makeup. Shock can be fatal but is not an illness. Cancer (although internal) definitely means something has gone wrong.
Not all suicides are the result of depression.
BTW, apoptosis failure is entirely natural.
