A healing factor could and would enhance the rate at which your cells reproduce. That doesn't automatically stop your cells from reproducing out of control with bad blueprints. In my opinion rapid healing/regeneration would actually make cancer more likely.

Another possible school of thought is that the body would be better at regulating cell reproduction. I think the idea is that a healing factor can fix the faulty cells before they even have a chance to spread. Since Aura is tied to the soul and not the genes, the healing factor isn't something that would be affected by bad cells.
