  Wow- fabulous question! That is what some “drugs” or agents try to do. Drugs can be designed for different purposes- some try to kill a cell, stop it from growing and so on. Other drug agents like you said can be used to stimulate your body’s natural defense system- aka your immune system- with the idea that macrophages and white blood cells come and engulf the bad/cancer cell and remove it from the body!
  
  Great great question!
